‘We’re ready’: Liberal candidate says ahead of Terrebonne byelection rematch
Global News
Liberal Tatiana Auguste faces Bloc candidate Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné in an April 13 byelection triggered by a one-vote result overturned by the Supreme Court.
A federal byelection in Terrebonne on April 13 could help the Liberals secure a majority government.
The vote was ordered after the Supreme Court of Canada overturned the Liberal candidate’s one-vote victory from the last federal election due to an uncounted mail-in ballot.
The rematch will see Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste face Bloc Québécois candidate Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, who lost the seat by one vote last April.
“Every vote is equal, every vote should count,” Sinclair-Desgagné told Global News on Thursday. “Those are principles that are taught at a very young age.”
The outcome of the election was later challenged after it emerged that an Elections Canada employee had printed the wrong postal code on some mail-in ballots.
The Supreme Court of Canada officially annulled the result on Feb. 13.
Auguste said the situation has been a rollercoaster, but that she is ready to return to the campaign.
“I feel like it’s been a rollercoaster with everything that’s happened,” she said. “But I feel this chapter is closed and now we’re on to a new election and we’re ready, and I am very motivated.”
