Tony Wong resigned in the fall of 2006 to successfully seek election to York Regional Council. His provincial seat was filled in a by-election on February 8, 2007. However the riding was abolished at the October 4, 2007 provincial election, and redistributed between the new provincial ridings of Markham—Unionville and Oak Ridges—Markham as its federal counterpart already has been.
