By-elections to the 42nd Canadian Parliament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By-elections to the 42nd Canadian Parliament will be held to fill vacancies in the House of Commons of Canada between the 2015 federal election and the 43rd Canadian federal election. The 42nd Canadian Parliament has existed since 2015 with the membership of its House of Commons having been determined by the results of the Canadian federal election held on October 19, 2015. The Liberal Party of Canada had a majority government during this Parliament.
A by-election will be held on October 24, 2016, following the death of Jim Hillyer (Conservative, Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner) on March 23, 2016.[1] Three additional by-elections are pending due to the death of Mauril Bélanger (Liberal, Ottawa—Vanier) on August 16, 2016, the resignation from the House of Commons of former prime minister Stephen Harper (Conservative, Calgary Heritage) on August 26, 2016,[2] and the resignation of Jason Kenney (Conservative, Calgary Midnapore), effective September 23, 2016,[3] in order to enter provincial politics and pursue the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta.[4][5]
The writ for a by-election must be dropped no later than 180 days after the Chief Electoral Officer is officially notified of a vacancy. Under the Canada Elections Act, the minimum length of a campaign is 36 days between dropping the writ and election day.[6]
2016 by-elections
Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner
A by-election will be held on October 24, 2016[1] in the riding of Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, which has been vacant since March 23, 2016 when Conservative Party of Canada MP Jim Hillyer died in his office following a heart attack.[7] The riding has been held by centre-right parties since Bert Hargrave defeated Liberal incumbent Bud Olson, himself a former Social Credit MP, in 1972.[1] This is the first by-election in the 108-year history of the Medicine Hat constituency. The Speaker's warrant regarding the vacancy was received on March 24, 2016.
Retired Medicine Hat Police inspector Glen Motz[1] defeated businessman Brian Benoit, former Cardston-Taber-Warner and Calgary-Glenmore MLA Paul Hinman, lawyer Michael W. Jones, and party worker Joe Schow for the Conservative nomination, which was held in late June.[8] Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes, former Medicine Hat MLA Blake Pedersen, and Dan Hein, Hillyer's closest competitor for the nomination in 2015, all declined to run for the Conservative nomination despite speculation to the contrary.[9]
Well-known Medicine Hat businessman Stan Sakamoto is the Liberal candidate.[1]
The Libertarian Party of Canada has nominated Sheldon Johnston as its candidate.[10]
