Liberals win Terrebonne rematch after previous one-vote victory overturned
- On Monday, April 13, 2026, Liberal candidates Tatiana Auguste and Doly Begum won byelections in Terrebonne and Scarborough Southwest, securing a 174-seat House of Commons majority for Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- The Terrebonne seat required a rematch after the Supreme Court of Canada nullified Auguste's 2025 victory due to a ballot processing error that had initially produced a single-vote difference against Bloc Québécois candidate Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné.
- Since November, five MPs crossed the floor to join the Liberals, including Ontario MP Marilyn Gladu, which reduced pressure on Terrebonne to determine Carney's majority status.
- In Scarborough Southwest, former New Democrat MPP Doly Begum won with 69.9% of the vote, replacing longtime MP Bill Blair, who resigned to serve as Canada's high commissioner to the United Kingdom.
- Political analyst Karim Boulos warns that the narrow majority requires strict MP attendance for legislative stability, cautioning that Carney may seek a stronger mandate through a snap election.
