They are Leon D. Crestohl, who was re-elected as a Liberal member for Montreal-Cartier, which he has represented for the past 12 years; David Lewis, national vice-president of the New Democratic Party, elected for Toronto York South; Herbert Grey, a Liberal, who was elected in Essex West, Windsor; and David Orlikow of the New Democratic Party, who was elected in Winnipeg North.
