Prime Minister Mark Carney announces by-elections in three federal electoral districts scheduled for August 31. The contests include Toronto’s Beaches–East York riding, Quebec’s Chicoutimi–Le Fjord, and British Columbia’s North Vancouver–Capilano. The announcement sets the by-election date for the end of August.
In Toronto’s Beaches–East York, the seat was previously held by Nate Erskine-Smith, who formally resigns, prompting the by-election. In Quebec’s Chicoutimi–Le Fjord and B.C.’s North Vancouver–Capilano, the by-elections are also called to fill vacancies that have opened in those ridings.
The reports agree on the number of ridings, the specific districts, and the August 31 election date. They provide the same core details without disputing the timing or locations of the contests.
