The interim leader of the Ontario Liberal Party says a nomination race this weekend to select a byelection candidate was fair, open and transparent, despite suspicion being raised by Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith.
Erskine-Smith was vying to represent the provincial party in the upcoming Scarborough Southwest byelection ahead of an intended bid for the leadership of the party.
But he lost Saturday to Ahsanul Hafiz by a slim margin, and cast doubt on the process after the results were announced.
