MONTREAL - The Quebec government has called a byelection in a riding northeast of Montreal to replace former economy minister Pierre Fitzgibbon. 

The Terrebonne riding had been held by Fitzgibbon since the Coalition Avenir Québec formed government in 2018, but it had previously been a stronghold of the sovereigntist Parti Québécois going back to 1976.
