Canada election results: LaSalle–Émard–Verdun

Liberal candidate David Lametti is the projected winner for the riding of LaSalle–Émard–Verdun.

The riding is located in southwestern Montreal. It includes parts of the borough of Verdun except for Île des Sœurs, as well as parts of the boroughs of LaSalle and Le Sud-Ouest.

Former prime minister Paul Martin was first elected MP of the riding in 1988 as part of the Liberal Party and held the seat until 2008. In the 2008 election, Liberal Lise Zarac won the seat with 40.59 per cent of the vote. Zarac was defeated in 2011 when the NDP’s Hélène LeBlanc won the seat.

The riding saw a return to Liberal leadership in 2015 with the election of David Lametti, who won with almost 44 per cent of the vote. He secured the seat again in 2019 with 43.5 per cent of the vote.

Lametti is the current minister of justice and attorney general of Canada.

Just over 15 per cent of the riding’s population are recent immigrants from China.
