[PDF, 209KB] ( Acrobat Reader required - download free Acrobat Reader.) Political History:Tory Rob Sampson won Mississauga Centre comfortably in 1999, beating Liberal George Winter by over 4,100 votes. But in 2003, Tory support was on the wane. Sampson lost to Liberal Harinder S. Takhar that year. Takhar was named transportation minister in 2003 and small business and entrepreneur minister in 2007. In Mississauga West, PC candidate John Snobelen defeated Liberal Steve Offer in 1995 and served in the cabinet of Mike Harris. Snobelen was re-elected in 1999, but chose not to seek re-election in 2003 after being consigned to the government backbenches by Ernie Eves. The riding fell into Liberal hands after Snobelen's departure as Bob Delaney won a commanding victory in 2003, beating Progressive Conservative Nina Tangri by 8,606 votes.
