Despite finishing 2nd in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador, and 3rd in Prince Edward Island, a very strong result in New Brunswick allowed Michael Ignatieff to win the most delegates in Atlantic Canada. With 79 of 79 meetings reporting, Ignatieff captured almost one-third of the region. Despite a terrible showing in Nova Scotia (2.2%), Bob Rae finished second. Scott Brison, despite terrible showings in Newfoundland & Labrador (0%) and Prince Edward Island (1.5%), and average support in New Brunswick (9.5%), finished third across the region on the strength of his strong showing in his home province of Nova Scotia (39.9%).
