Jansen won her seat Monday on the same day Trudeau was in Ottawa facing calls to resign after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland stepped down from cabinet on the day she was to deliver a fall economic statement. Aldag quit this year to run in October’s provincial election for the NDP in Langley-Abbotsford, but he was defeated by a B.C. Conservative.
In September the federal Liberals lost a byelection to the Bloc Québécois in the Montreal riding of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun. The loss came after unexpectedly losing Toronto—St. Paul’s to the Conservatives in a byelection in June.
