Liberal minority back up to 169 after Elections Canada validates close Ontario race

Elections Canada's validation process has revealed a second closely contested riding's winner has changed after Monday's preliminary result — this time from the Conservatives to the Liberals.

The unofficial results posted on election night showed that Conservative Parm Gill had won the redrawn riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South by 298 votes.

But after double-checking the numbers, Elections Canada now reports that Liberal Kristina Tesser Derksen won by 29 votes.
