Former Ottawa Mayor Bob Chiarelli won this riding in a 2010 by-election for the Liberals and held onto it in 2011, both times winning by just over 1,000 votes. He formerly held the riding of Ottawa West from 1987-1997. Federally, the riding has been held by Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird since 2006.
