A Conservative member of Parliament says he won't be seeking reelection because the party is not allowing an open nomination in a new riding. Gary Vidal cites the party’s response to changing electoral boundaries in his announcement that he won’t run.
Vidal says the riding boundaries are changing “drastically” and he will no longer reside in the electoral district he serves, but rather in the new riding of Battlefords-Lloydminster-Meadow Lake.He says the party has decided there will be no open nomination to choose the candidate in that new riding, which, he says, “is not the expected outcome I anticipated.”Sarah Fischer says the party respects his decision not to seek re-election.
The redrawn version of Vidal’s current riding is still home to most of his current constituents, but it’s losing the community of Meadow Lake, where he says he was born and raised. Vidal’s decision follows an announcement in February that he was stepping away from his role as the Tories’ critic in Parliament for Indigenous services.Business News: Impact of capital gains tax changes
