The race was a decent one, with Sauvé taking in 28 p.c of the vote. The Bloc Québécois candidate beat the Liberal candidate by lower than 250 votes in keeping with Elections Canada outcomes.
“Obviously it would have been nicer to be able to win,” mentioned Trudeau in Ottowa in a press convention Tuesday. “…But there’s more work to do.”
