Stephen Blais won Orléans for the Ontario Liberal Party, while Lucille Collard took Ottawa-Vanier.

The Ottawa-Vanier seat has been vacant since the summer, when Liberal Nathalie Des Rosiers resigned, and Liberal Marie-France Lalonde left Orleans in October to represent the riding federally.

"It's great to have a really big plan, but it's much better to actually have a very solid plan that's positive, that is going to happen."

Here's what you need to know about the riding of Ottawa—Vanier and its 2019 federal election candidates.

Lucille Collard is a lawyer in the public sector, a French public school trustee and the chair of the board.

The seat was vacated this summer when Liberal Nathalie Des Rosiers resigned to take a position at Massey College.

Des Rosiers' resignation is effective immediately and she will take up the position of Principal at Massey College starting Aug. 1. 

In a press release issued Thursday evening, Massey College announced Des Rosiers was elected to the position of principal.

Two federal ridings in Ottawa are among the top 30 ridings in the country with the highest child poverty rates, according to a report released Monday by anti-poverty advocacy organization Campaign 2000.

A spokeswoman for the province's electoral agency says some voters in the Ottawa-Vanier riding received information on where they should go to vote, "and the information may be incorrect."
