NDP MP Pat Martin was first elected in 1997 and held the seat consecutively until the 2015 federal election, where he lost to Liberal Robert-Falcon Ouellette, who won 54.5 per cent of the vote.
However, the Liberal hold was short-lived as the riding returned to the NDP when Leah Gazan was elected in 2019.
