History

The riding of Mississauga—Malton was created after the 2014 Ontario election as a part of a provincial riding redistribution process that saw new ridings created and several existing riding boundaries changed. Mississauga—Malton is made up of the eastern part of the old Mississauga—Streetsville riding, a large part of the old Mississauga—Brampton South riding and the southern part of the old Bramalea—Gore—Malton riding. Amrit Mangat, who most recently served as the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, represented the old riding of Mississauga—Brampton South for the Ontario Liberal Party since 2007.
