Well that's interesting!
Oosterhoff, an Ontario Progressive Conservative, was only 19 when he was first elected in a by-election in Niagara West—Glanbrook on November 17, 2016, making him the youngest Ontario MPP to ever be elected. This record was previously held by Reid Scott, who was 21 when he was first elected in Beaches in 1948.
