2006 by-election

edit

Long-time MP Joe Fontana resigned from the seat in 2006 in order to run in the London municipal election as a candidate for mayor, requiring a by-election to be held.

The election was called on October 22, 2006 with polling day falling on November 27.[13]

The election result presented a major breakthrough for the Green Party, tripling its previous showing in the general election and placing slightly ahead of the candidate of the governing Conservative Party. The vote for party leader Elizabeth May was over five times the 4.5% national popular vote in the preceding federal election.
