Vote 2015 – Notre-Dame-de-Grâce–Westmount
Elected as a Liberal MP for the Quebec riding of Westmount – Ville-Marie in 2008, former astronaut Marc Garneau is running for re-election in the rejigged riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce – Westmount. He faces stiff competition from James Hughes, in whom the NDP has placed a great deal of hope. Mr. Hughes once served as deputy minister of social development in New Brunswick, and he became well-known in Montreal as head of the Old Brewery Mission, an organization helping the homeless. The five other candidates on the ballot are the Conservative Party’s Richard Sagala, the Green Party’s Melissa Kate Wheeler, and Bloc Québécois contender Simon Quesnel. Danielle Young reports on this interesting battle between the Liberal Party and the NDP.
