Global News has declared that David Lametti has been re-elected in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun.
LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, formerly known as LaSalle—Émard, was the riding of former prime minister Paul Martin. The amalgamation of LaSalle with Verdun created a union of two ridings with completely different political histories.
LaSalle—Émard was Liberal for more than 20 years, whereas Verdun had a strong Bloc Québécois tradition.
