2004 Candidates
Riding Profile
This is an Outaouais riding, with the Ottawa River as its southern boundary and the Gatineau River as its eastern boundary. The riding contains part of the City of Gatineau inside the former City of Gatineau limits. Kettle Island is also a part of riding.
The largest source of employment is government services and related industries, along with retail trade and other services. The average family income is $66,102 and unemployment is 4.8 per cent.
Almost six per cent of the population cited English as their mother tongue and 88 per cent French. The total immigrant population is almost five per cent, with a significant Arabic population. In the 1995 referendum, 72 per cent of this riding voted against sovereignty.
In 2004, the former cities of Buckingham and Masson-Angers have moved to the neighbouring riding, pulling the boundaries back to the Gatineau city limits. This riding was created in 1947 from the ridings of Wright and Hull. In 1986, the name changed to Gatineau-La Lièvre. The 1996 redistribution kept 84 per cent of the riding and changed the name back to Gatineau.
Population: 84,202
Political History
In 2000, Liberal Mark Assad defeated the Bloc Québécois's Richard Nadeau to win a fourth term of office. Assad announced in January 2004 that he wouldn't be running again.
Both Wright and Hull, from which Gatineau was created, were Liberal from 1917. Liberal Gaston Isabelle, who was elected here in 1965, ran in Hull in 1968. Liberal Gaston Clermont won three terms, beginning in 1968, and another Liberal, René Cousineau, won in 1979 and in 1980. When Progressive Conservative Claudy Mailly defeated Cousineau in 1984, it was the first Conservative win in the riding.
