## Resource

Nate Erskine-Smith, a Liberal MP, lost the partys nomination for Scarborough Southwest to Ahsanul Hafiz in a byelection. Erskine-Smith appealed the decision, alleging irregularities in the voting process. However, the partys arbitration panel found no evidence of foul play, attributing the discrepancy to a bookkeeping error. Erskine-Smith had hoped to use the nomination as a stepping stone for a leadership bid, but the loss has made that prospect less likely.
