The federal Conservative Party has nominated candidates in two of the three federal byelections scheduled for April 13.

Adrienne Charles will represent the Conservatives in Terrebonne, Que., after previously running in the riding during the last federal election. The byelection in Terrebonne was ordered after the Supreme Court annulled the Liberal candidate’s one-vote victory over the Bloc Québécois challenger, triggering a new vote in the riding. In Toronto’s University-Rosedale riding, the Conservatives have nominated Don Hodgson. The seat became vacant after Liberal MP and former federal cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland resigned her position in the House of Commons. A third byelection will take place
