Elections Canada had said the difference between Auguste and incumbent Bloc Québécois MP Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagne was 44 votes following an earlier count.

A judicial recount must take place if the difference between the number of votes cast for the candidate with the most votes and the number of votes cast for any other candidate is less than 0.1 per cent of the valid votes cast.

The Liberals are now just two seats shy of the 172 needed for a majority government.
