Prime MInister Stephen Harper has called a byelection for March 12 in Toronto-Danforth riding of the late NDP leader Jack Layton.
NDP members living in the Toronto riding east of the downtown core chose law professor Craig Scott to replace Layton as the party’s candidate three weeks ago.
Layton, who led Canada’s Official Opposition, died of cancer last August. He was 61.
