Dombrowsky tightened her hold on the riding in 2003, defeating PC Barry Gordon by 7,840 votes. Dombrowsky was appointed environment minister in 2003 and became agriculture, food and rural affairs minister in 2005. Progressive Conservative Norm Sterling was first elected in the riding of Carleton-Grenville (later restructured and renamed Lanark-Carleton) in 1977 and has held the riding ever since. He won decisive margins in recent elections, including beating Liberal Marianne Wilkinson by more than 6,000 votes in 2003.
