In 2000, Liberal Lucienne Robillard defeated Progressive Conservative Bryan Price to win a second term in Westmount-Ville Marie. She was first elected in a 1995 byelection in St-Henri-Westmount. She was appointed minister of labour in 1995, and minister of citizenship and immigration in 1996. She became president of the Treasury Board and minister responsible for infrastructure in 1999, portfolios she held until 2003. In 2003, Prime Minister Paul Martin appointed her minister of industry and minister responsible for the Economic Development Agency for the regions of Quebec.
The former St-Henri riding was Liberal from 1925 to 1974. Westmount was Liberal from 1940 to 1974, except for a PC win in 1958. In the newly configured St-Henri-Westmount, Liberal Don Johnston, incumbent from Westmount, won in 1979, 1980 and 1984. He was appointed president of the Treasury Board in 1980, minister for economic development, minister of state for science and technology in 1983, minister of justice and attorney general in 1984. He left the Liberal caucus in 1988 to sit as an Independent. Liberal David Berger won in 1988 and 1993 but resigned in 1994 and later was appointed Canadian Ambassador to Israel.
