Summary: This new riding sees Westmount, currently represented by Liberal Marc Garneau, joined with Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, represented by the NDP’s Isabelle Morin. Morin is re-offering in another riding, so Garneau is the only incumbent running here.
Boundaries: Along with Westmount and NDG, this riding also includes Montreal West.
Last Election: If these riding boundaries were in effect in 2011, the Liberals would have claimed 38.2 per cent of the vote, followed by the NDP with 35.1 per cent.
