A byelection will take place in the Ontario town after the government's minister of red tape reduction stepped down to run federally for Piere Polievre's Conservative Party.
RELATED: Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie is “seriously” considering running in the riding of Milton to replace a Progressive Conservative cabinet minister who resigned in January. Meanwhile, the Ford government has announced billions of dollars in infrastructure funding for the riding. Global News' Queen's Park Bureau Chief Colin D'Mello explains.
Crombie had previously said was she “seriously” considering a run in the seat, which borders Mississauga, the city she governed as mayor for almost a decade. In particular, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced he would support building an all-day, two-way train line to Milton. The cost of that project is pegged at around $6 billion, with Ontario saying it is willing to take on half.
