Since 2021

Against the 2021 result on these boundaries, the Bloc Québécois are down 0.3 (35.3% to 35.0%), the Liberals up 9.2 (15.1% to 24.3%), the New Democrats down 10.4 (32.1% to 21.7%) and the Conservatives up 6.5 (10.7% to 17.2%), in points of the valid votes.

2021 is Elections Canada's transposition of that election onto the 2023 boundaries, not an election held on these lines.

The Bloc Québécois were first at six of the eight general elections from 2004 to 2025, the NDP at two; it changed hands twice. In 2025 the Bloc Québécois took 35.0% of the vote here, 6.0 points below their average of 41.0% at the seven general elections from 2004 to 2021.

On today's boundaries the Bloc Québécois were first here in 2004 (60.7%), 2006 (49.7%), 2008 (47.0%), 2019 (38.1%), 2021 (35.3%) and 2025 (35.0%) and the NDP in 2011 (41.1%) and 2015 (41.7%), each with the share of the valid votes shown.

A stronghold is a party first at every general election since 2004, by an average of 20 points or more over the next party; held, first at every one; usually, first at all but one. By-elections are not counted. By this rule 160 of the 343 ridings have no degree. The results before 2021 are carried onto today's boundaries by where the riding's 2025 electors lived: our estimate, from the older boundaries of Taylor, Lucas, Kirby and Hewitt and the results in Sevi's "Who Runs?". 2021 is Elections Canada's transposition, and 2025 the official result.

Before 2025
  • 2021 Bloc Québécois · Yves Perron, by 937 votes (1.7 pts)
  • 2019 Bloc Québécois · Yves Perron, by 1,502 votes (2.6 pts)
  • 2015 New Democratic · Ruth Ellen Brosseau, by 8,905 votes (16.4 pts)

How this is measured. Electors: the share of the current riding's 2025 ordinary-list electors who lived in each former riding, each 2025 polling division placed in the 2013 riding a point inside it falls in. Area: the share of the current riding's area that came from each former riding, by intersecting the 2013 and 2023 boundary files, and how much of the former riding that part was. Area is land, not population. Elections Canada counts 48 of 343 ridings as entirely unchanged.
