Political History:
The incumbent in Vancouver-Burrard is Liberal Lorne Mayencourt. In 2001 he unseated incumbent Tim Stevenson of the NDP (by a margin of more than 4,000 more), breaking a three-decade-long New Democrat lock on this riding. Stevenson had been elected in 1996, winning over Liberal Duncan Wilson by 2,671 votes. Preceding him was fellow New Democrat Emery Barnes, who in 1991 defeated the Liberal's Steven Bourne by nearly 3,000 votes. Before that, this riding was part of the old Vancouver Centre, a two-member riding. Barnes had been serving there since 1972. From that year until 1986 his seatmate was fellow New Democrat Gary Lauk; in the 1986 election Mike Harcourt, who soon became B.C.'s NDP leader, succeeded Lauk.
In 2001, the voter turnout in Vancouver-Burrard was 63.7 per cent – the fourth lowest in the province.
