April 14 (UPI) -- The Liberal Party of Canada won three of three byelections on Monday to give Prime Minister Mark Carney a majority in the House of Commons.

Liberal candidates needed just one election win out of the three races, two in Ontario and a third in Quebec, to gain a majority. The sweep gives the Liberals 174 out of 343 seats in the House of Commons.

Doly Begum in Scarborough-Southwest, Danielle Martin in University-Rosedale and Tatiana Auguste in Terrebonne won seats in the House of Commons for the Liberal Party.

The victories will allow Carney to pass legislation without needing votes from opposition parties.
