It is located in Quebec, Canada. Its population in 2006 was 95,983. In the 2015 election the winner received the lowest vote percentage of any winning candidate in the country.

Geography

The district includes the Regional County Municipalities of Acton and Les Maskoutains. It includes the communities of Saint-Hyacinthe, Acton Vale, Saint-Pie, Sainte-Madeleine, and Saint-Dominique.

Political geography

Almost all of the riding voted for the Bloc in 2006 except for parts of Roxton Falls and its surrounding township, Roxton which voted Conservative.

History

The electoral district was created in 1933 as "St. Hyacinthe—Bagot". In 1947, the name was changed to "Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot".

In 1966, the riding was abolished. Parts of the riding were combined with parts of Chambly—Rouville and Richelieu—Verchères riding into a new riding named "Saint-Hyacinthe". Saint-Hyacinthe was renamed "Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot" after the 1980 election.

This riding was not changed as a result of the 2012 electoral redistribution.

2007 by-election

After the resignation of Yvan Loubier on 21 February 2007, a by-election occurred on 17 September 2007.
