Riding Info
This is a long, narrow riding in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region of Quebec. It has Rivière Péribonka and Lac Péribonka as its western border. The Saguenay River runs through the southern part of the riding. Jonquière is in the southwest corner. It contains that part of the city of Saguenay comprised of the boroughs of Chicoutimi and La Baie and part of the regional county municipality of Le Fjord-du-Saguenay.
The 2004 redistribution kept all the riding and added 14 per cent of Lac-St-Jean-Saguenay in the north and 10 per cent of Jonquière in the west. This riding was established as Chicoutimi in 1925. The riding name changed to Chicoutimi-Le Fjord in 2000. The 1996 redistribution moved a small part of the riding into Jonquière.
Population: 96,483 (2006 census; a decrease of 2.3% since 2001)
Political History
Bloc Québécois incumbent Robert Bouchard won a third term in 2008 but this time around the runner-up was a Conservative. In the 2006 election, Bouchard defeated Liberal André Harvey. Bouchard had squeaked by in 2004, defeating the incumbent Harvey by fewer than 1,000 votes.
In 2000, Harvey defeated Bloc candidate Noel Tremblay. Harvey was elected in 1997 as a Progressive Conservative, defeating the Bloc's Gilbert Fillion by 317 votes. Harvey decided to sit as an Independent as of April 26, 2000. He issued a statement saying he was joining the Liberal caucus in September of the same year. Harvey had served two terms as a PC, winning in 1984 and 1988.
Liberal Paul Langlois was elected in 1965, 1968, 1972 and 1974. Liberal Marcel Dionne won in 1979 and 1980, but was defeated in 1984 by Harvey. In 1993, the Bloc's Gilbert Fillion defeated PC Harvey by 18,385 votes.
