Profile

This mainly Francophone riding was one of the NDP's stronger seats on the South Shore in 2011. The NDP did well across the district, with the BQ coming in distant second for the most part. The Liberals and Conservatives did poorly in this riding, although the Liberals had a tiny pocket of somewhat strong support around Parc Michel-Chartrand. Despite winning the riding again in 2015, it was an extremely close contest. The Liberals surged into second place, just one point away from defeating the incumbent NDP candidate.
