History: This is one of four ridings in Canada (and one of only two in Quebec) which has stayed in continual existence since Canada’s first election in 1867. While it was held by the the Bloc Québécois prior to Genest’s election, it has been an extremely diverse riding electorally over the years, having elected Liberal, PC, BQ, and Social Credit MPs since 1974. In recent memory, the riding was held longest by former Liberal cabinet minister Jean Lapierre, who held it for the Liberals from 1979 to 1990 before crossing the aisle to the newly created BQ.
