A by-election is coming up in the riding as long-time Liberal MP Jonathan Wilkinson departs for an Ambassador role to represent Canada to the European Union.
Wilkinson had a strong ministerial file on energy and environment; the Greens possibly think there could be cross-over voters from Liberal to Green based on that issue.
There are several other by-elections coming up across Canada in the months ahead, including two in Montreal where the NDP feels they have a shot.
There is a slim Liberal majority in the House of Commons. There is only one Green in the House of Commons at this time (that being Elizabeth May who is MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands).
