Riding Info
Located in southeast New Brunswick, this riding consists of the city of Moncton and the neighbouring towns of Riverview and Dieppe.
The riding was established in 1966. In the redistributions of 1996 and 2004, about 10 per cent of the population was shifted to other ridings.
Population: 89,334 (2006 census; an increase of 7.4% since 2001)
Political History
Liberal Brian Murphy won this riding in 2008 with a 1,232-margin over Conservative Daniel Allain. In 2006, running for the first time, Murphy held off Conservative Charles Doucet. Murphy became the Liberal candidate after incumbent Claudette Bradshaw announced she would not run in the 2006 campaign.
In 2004, Bradshaw had no trouble holding the seat, which the party has retained since 1988.
George Rideout was the Liberal MP from 1988 until 1997. Bradshaw won by a comfortable margin in 1997 to continue the Liberal run. A year later, she was named minister of labour. Her re-election in 2000 was by a three-to-one margin over runner-up Kathryn Barnes of the Canadian Alliance.
Bradshaw was moved from labour to become minister of state for human resources development in July 2004.
