And Tory Lawrence Toet is holding on to a narrow lead over NDP incumbent Jim Maloway in Elmwood-Transcona.

Despite their good fortunes elsewhere in Canada, the New Democrats have been reduced to two Manitoba seats: Churchill, where Niki Ashton has won her second term, and Winnipeg Centre, where Pat Martin has won his sixth trip to Ottawa.

The Liberals only have one Manitoba outpost: Winnipeg North, where Kevin Lamoureux won in a squeaker over the NDP's Rebecca Blaikie.

The returning Conservatives are Vic Toews in Provencher, Robert Sopuck in Dauphin-Swan River, Joy Smith in Kildonan-St. Paul, Candice Hoeppner in Portage-Lisgar, Rod Bruinooge in Winnipeg South, James Bezan in Selkirk-Interlake, Steven Fletcher in Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia, Shelly Glover in St. Boniface and Merv Tweed in Brandon-Souris.
