Canada election results: Laurier—Sainte-Marie

Liberal candidate Steven Guilbeault is the projected winner in the riding of Laurier–Sainte-Marie,

The riding is located in downtown Montreal. It includes parts of the boroughs of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and Ville-Marie. Both of the boroughs are popular with tourists. The riding sits along the St. Lawrence River.

Gilles Duceppe of the Bloc Québécois was first elected MP of the riding in a byelection in 1990 as an Independent. He ran again in 1993 under the BQ leadership and held the seat until 2011, when he was defeated by the NDP’s Hélène Laverdière.

Laverdière held the seat from 2011 until 2019, but did not run again. NDP candidate Nimâ Machouf was defeated by Liberal Steven Guilbeault.

Guilbeault, who is an advocate in the fight against the climate crisis, is also the current minister of Canadian heritage.
