Keeping with that trend, the riding has stayed Conservative blue since 2006, and was previously Liberal dating back to 1993.
Del Mastro served as the MP from 2oo6 until November 2014 when he resigned his seat after he was convicted of violating the Elections Canada Act by exceeding campaign limits, then attempting a cover-up.
