After the votes in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne were validated, it has been determined that Bloc Québécois MP Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné has won re-election, reducing the Liberal Party’s seat count to 168.

Sinclair-Desgagné said in a social media statement that she had come out with a lead of 44 votes and that a judicial recount would likely take place. “Thank you for your continued support and stay tuned for the future. I hope to have the honour to represent Terrebonne again in the coming years,” she said.
