Riding Info
This is a mainly rural riding in southwest Quebec that runs along the Ottawa River. The riding contains the City of Mirabel, the regional county municipalities of Argenteuil and Papineau and part of Deux-Montagnes and Les Pays-d'en-Haut. The communities of Oka, Pointe-Calumet, St-Joseph-du-Lac and St-Placide, Lac-des-Seize-Iles, Morin Heights, St-Adolphe-d'Howard and Wentworth-Nord and the Kanesatake Indian Lands fall in the riding.
In 2004, the riding was named Argenteuil-Mirabel. The riding of Argenteuil existed from 1867 to 1947 and was re-established in 1976 from 71 per cent of Argenteuil-Deux Montagnes and 20 per cent of Gatineau. The name changed to Argenteuil-Papineau in 1981. The 1996 redistribution added a part of Gatineau-La-Lièvre.
Population: 111,534 (2006 census; an increase of 13.3% since 2001)
Political History
Bloc Québécois candidate Mario Laframboise made another strong showing in 2008, defeating the next closest candidate, Liberal André Robert, by more than 16,000 votes. In 2006, Laframboise won more than 50 per cent of the vote in defeating the next closest candidate, Conservative Suzanne Courville. The 2008 victory marked the sixth win for the BQ in this riding, the fourth for Laframboise.
In 2000, Laframboise squeaked by Progressive Conservative Lise Bourgault by just 542 votes. In 1993, the BQ's Maurice Dumas defeated Liberal Jacques Desforges and in 1997, he won a second term, defeating Stephane Hébert. Bourgault had held this riding for two terms for the PCs, winning in 1984 and 1988.
Argenteuil-Deux Montagnes voted Liberal from 1949 to 1980 except for PC wins in 1958 and 1965. Liberal Robert Major was elected in 1968 in Argenteuil. Liberal Francis Fox was elected in this riding in 1972 and 1974 and later went on to win two terms in Blainville-Deux-Montagnes. He was solicitor general, minister of communications and minister for international trade. Liberal Robert Gourd won in 1979 and 1980, but was defeated in 1984.
