The riding has been a Conservative stronghold for years.
Conservative Gerald Soroka won the riding in the 2019 election after former Conservative MP Jim Eglinski announced he was not seeking re-election. Eglinski was elected first in a November 2014 byelection and then re-elected in the 2015 federal election.
