RIDING PROFILE
This urban riding in northern Ontario consists of part of Greater Sudbury.
The former city of Sudbury and the former town of Walden fall within the
riding.
Mining and manufacturing are important to the economy, with companies
such as Inco and Falconbridge Nickel based here. Average family income
is $63,886 and the unemployment rate is 7.5 per cent, down from 9.3 per cent in the 2001 census.
According to the 2001 census, almost 21 per cent spoke French as their

Political History
In 2004, Liberal Diane Marleau defeated New Democrat Gerry McIntaggart
to win a fifth term. She was appointed minister of health in 1993, minister
of public works and government services in 1996 and minister of international
co-operation and minister responsible for the Francophonie from 1997 to
1999.
This riding has elected only one non-Liberal since 1949. It sent New
Democrat Bud Germa to Ottawa in a 1967 byelection; he served for
one year, losing to Liberal Jim Jerome in the 1968 general election.
Jerome, who became Speaker, was MP from 1968 to 1980. Doug
Frith, a minister of Indian affairs and northern development, won in 1980
and 1984.
