Lawrence Toet (born January 2, 1962) is a Canadian politician. Born a child of Dutch parents who moved to Canada in the early fifties, he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada for the federal Conservative Party of Canada in the 2011 election, representing the electoral district of Elmwood—Transcona.[1] In the 2015 election, Toet was defeated by NDP candidate Daniel Blaikie by 61 votes.[2]
He won again the candidacy for the Conservative Party of Canada for the riding of Elmwood-Transcona in March 2018 but failed to win back his seat in 2019.[citation needed]
He attempted to be the Conservative candidate in the 2023 Portage—Lisgar federal by-election.[3] He was endorsed by the constituency's former MP Charles Mayer, however he was unsuccessful in the nomination.[4]
