Saint-Laurent (electoral district)

Saint-Laurent (formerly Saint-Laurent—Cartierville) is a federal electoral district in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1988.

Geography

The district corresponds exactly to the borough of Saint-Laurent in the city of Montreal.

The neighbouring ridings are Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Mount Royal, Dorval—Lachine—LaSalle, Pierrefonds—Dollard, Laval—Les Îles and Vimy.

History

The electoral district of Saint-Laurent was created in 1987 from Dollard, Laval-des-Rapides and Saint-Denis. The name was changed to Saint-Laurent—Cartierville in 1989.

This riding lost territory to Ahuntsic-Cartierville during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

It has been represented since a by-election in 1996 by Stéphane Dion, former leader of the Liberal Party and present Foreign Minister of Canada. It has long been regarded as one of the safest Liberal ridings in the nation.
