Leal was briefly in attendance at Harrison’s election party at the Canadian Canoe Museum when the latter made her entrance, moments after she was declared the winner of her respective riding.

Leal also served as MPP for the former Peterborough-Kawartha riding (now Peterborough) for four terms from 2003 to 2018 under the Liberal Party.

The following is a statement released by Leal:

On behalf of the City of Peterborough, I offer my sincere congratulations to Emma Harrison on being elected as the Member of Parliament for the riding of Peterborough.

I also want to thank Michelle Ferreri for her service as the Member of Parliament for the riding of Peterborough – Kawartha.

Our community faces important challenges and opportunities, including the need for more housing, investments in critical infrastructure, support for local economic growth, and partnerships that strengthen services for our residents.

We look forward to working with MP Harrison to ensure that federal policies and programs support the needs of communities like Peterborough.

We wish her every success as she begins this important work on behalf of our community.
