There will now be three by-elections in the province of Quebec on September 17.
The Prime Minister just announced that voters in Roberval-Lac St. Jean will join voters in the ridings of Outremont and Saint-Hyacinthe-Bagot.
Roberval-Lac St. Jean was the riding of former Bloc Quebecois leader Michel Gauthier. Gauthier, after a long career in Ottawa, announced his retirement earlier this year, citing the stress the weekly trips back and forth to his riding. He had recently had some back surgery and found it increasingly difficult.
