The lawyer for a former Bloc Québécois MP who lost her riding by a single vote in the April federal election says allowing the result to stand would send a “disastrous message” to voters.
A three-day hearing began Monday in St-Jérôme, Que., where Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné is challenging the outcome of the April 28 election in the riding of Terrebonne, north of Montreal. The Bloc incumbent lost the riding by one vote to Tatiana Auguste, now a Liberal MP.
