Notices in effect for this by-election

No voter information cards

Elections Canada states that, due to the postal service disruption, electors will not receive a voter information card. A voter information card is not required in order to vote. [ec-riding]

Adapted ballot in use

Elections Canada states there will be an adapted ballot for this by-election. It is a write-in ballot: instead of marking a circle beside a name, the elector writes the name of their chosen candidate in a blank space. A list of candidates is provided at every voting table. Elections Canada states that a misspelled name still counts if the elector's intent is clear, but a ballot marked with only a party name cannot be counted. [ec-faq]

Representation history

Every member recorded in the database for this seat and its predecessor, most recent first. Dates are the start and end of membership as stored, not election dates. The database keeps one row per parliament, so a member returned at a general election appears more than once; continuous periods are shown here as a single span and the Rows column gives the number of underlying records combined. The 4 spans below are drawn from 5 rows in core_electedmember.

What “dissent” means here

A dissent is a vote where the member voted the opposite way to their own party. That is the whole of it. It is a description of how a ballot was cast, not a measure of anything.

More precisely, as the database computes it: for each division it records the position of each party, then flags a member's ballot as a dissent when that ballot is the opposite of their own party's recorded position. Only Yea and Nay ballots can be flagged — an absence or a paired vote never is. Of the 73 flagged here, 59 were Yea votes against a party voting Nay, and 14 were Nay votes against a party voting Yea.

For completeness: there are a further 18 occasions on which this member's Yea or Nay differs from the party position recorded in bills_partyvote but is not flagged as a dissent — 12 where the party had no single recorded position (the database marks these as free votes) and 6 where the party did not vote as a bloc. They are excluded from the count of 73 above because the flag is only set where a party position exists to depart from.

A dissent is not by itself evidence of independence, principle, rebellion, or anything else. Many divisions are procedural. Some are on private members' bills where whipping is looser. The number is published because it is checkable, and for no other reason.

All 73 dissents

Every flagged dissent in the database for this member, oldest first — the complete list, not a selection. 18 of them were on questions not attached to a bill, such as opposition day motions and committee reports; those are marked no bill. Bill numbers are reused between parliaments, so the session column is what disambiguates them. The division number is what disambiguates the rows: the House can divide several times on the same bill on the same day, and two rows here that agree on every other field are two different votes, not a duplicate. Each division number links to that division on openparliament.ca so it can be checked.
