Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley confirmed on Sunday that Gline Clarke will be heading to Canada as High Commissioner.
As a result, there will be a by-election for the St George North seat held by Clarke, who will be stepping down as parliamentary representative on September 30.
Thereafter, a by-election must be held within 90 days of October 1.
Mottley thanked Clarke for his years of unbroken service to the Barbados Labour Party.
Clarke will take up the position formerly held by High Commissioner to Canada Farley Reginald, who now holds the position of President of the Senate.Â
Mottley was speaking at a St George North branch meeting. (KG)
