A former Ontario finance minister will be the federal Liberal candidate in an upcoming byelection in the Toronto area that’s set to be called later this month.

A statement from the party says Charles Sousa, who represented a provincial riding in Mississauga, Ont., for more than a decade and served as finance minister in the Liberal government of premier Kathleen Wynne, will run federally in the Mississauga-Lakeshore riding.
