Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has approved the Halifax parliamentary by-election, scheduled for April 14. This marks the first by-election since Trudeau announced his intention to resign. The Halifax seat was vacated by Liberal MP Andy Fillmore in September of last year.
The Liberals previously faced historic defeats in by-elections held in Toronto and Montreal under Trudeau’s leadership.
However, a recent national survey shows the Liberals slightly ahead of the Conservatives, with speculation surrounding former banker Mark Carney as a potential leader in the ongoing Liberal leadership race. It remains unclear whether this will influence the outcome of the Halifax by-election.
Meanwhile, if a federal election is called before the April vote, the by-election could be canceled and held concurrently with the general election.
