以此类推，今后每次选举都延迟一周? 好像不是。
The LIberals lost seats in the 2019 election, as they moved from a majority to the first of now two minority governments. As a result the primary beneficiary of this change would be Conservative MPs, 32 of whom won their seats for the first time in 2019.
The second largest number of MPs to benefit are Liberals, with 22 MPs who would qualify under the proposed change. The NDP have six MPs elected in 2019, and the Bloc Québécois have 20.
Leblanc’s spokesperson, Jean-Sébastien Comeau, said the change to the election day is not about pensions.
“The amendments to the Canada Elections Act that we introduced yesterday are aimed first and foremost at maximizing voter participation and protecting the integrity of federal elections,” he said in an email. “Given that an important religious holiday and municipal elections will be held in Alberta on October 20, 2025, we are proposing to move the date of the federal election to October 27, 2025.”
The government isn’t bound by the fixed election date and in a minority the Liberals could lose the confidence of the House of Commons at any point, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he expects the election to take place in 2025.
