History

Incumbent John McDermid was made the Minister of Housing two weeks before the 1988 federal election was called, shortly after negotiating the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement.
Three weeks after the election was called, Liberals nominated Harbhajan Pandori, a 41-year-old computer analyst for Canadian Tire. He was a resident of Mississauga, and "president of the large Sikh temple." He campaigned against the proposed federal sales tax and "supermailboxes" in new subdivisions. NDP candidate John Morris focused on campaigning against free trade.
