3 MPPs sworn in at Queen’s Park

Three new MPPs have been sworn in at Queen’s Park.

The Ontario PC’s star candidate and former Toronto councillor Doug Holyday officially became the MPP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore, while Liberals Mitzie Hunter and John Fraser took the oath for Scarborough-Guildwood and Ottawa South, respectively.

New Democrats Peggy Sattler and Percy Hatfield were sworn in for London West and Windsor-Tecumseh on Wednesday.

The new members won in byelections for their ridings on Aug. 1.

Mayor Rob Ford hosted a meeting in Etobicoke on Wednesday night to hear whether Etobicoke-Centre residents want to replace Holyday by appointment or with a byelection.

A slight majority favoured a byelection, according to a report in the Globe and Mail.

City council will debate the matter at a special meeting on Monday.
