Riding Info
This riding includes the heart of Quebec City and the parish municipality of Notre-Dame-des-Anges. It spreads from the St. Lawrence River in the south to Highway 40 in the north, between the former limit of Quebec City and L'Ancienne-Lorette in the west and former limit of Charlesbourg, Highway 175 and the St-Charles River in the east.
In the redistribution of 2004, the riding retained 63 per cent of Quebec riding and, in the north, 27 per cent of Quebec East. The riding was created as Langelier in the 1966 redistribution from the ridings of Quebec East, Quebec South and Quebec West. The name of the riding was changed from Langelier to Quebec in 1990. In the 1996 redistribution, 13 per cent of Quebec East was added.
Population: 95,433 (2006 census; an increase of 1.7% since 2001)
Political History
In the 2008 election, Bloc Québécois incumbent Christiane Gagnon was re-elected comfortably, beating Conservative Myriam Taschereau by 8,128 votes. Quebec voters returned Gagnon in 2006, giving her a fifth term in office.
In 2004, Gagnon was re-elected to a fourth term, earning more than 50 per cent of the vote. She first won against Liberal Jean Pelletier in 1993.
Liberal Jean Marchand was first elected in 1965 in Quebec West. He was appointed minister of citizenship and immigration and minister of manpower and immigration. Marchand won in Langelier in 1968, 1972 and 1974. He served as minister of forestry and rural development from 1968 to 1969, minister of regional economic expansion in 1969, and minister of transport in 1972. He resigned in 1976 over the government's handling of the air traffic controllers' language issue.
Liberal Gilles Lamontagne won the 1977 byelection and the general elections in 1979 and 1980. He was appointed minister of defence from 1980 to 1983 and was acting minister of veterans' affairs from 1980 to 1981. He resigned and was sworn in as lieutenant-governor of Quebec in 1984. In 1984, Progressive Conservative Michel Coté won and became minister of consumer and corporate affairs and minister responsible for Canada Post, minister of regional industrial expansion, minister of state for science and technology and minister of supply and services. He resigned in 1988, after breaching conflict of interest guidelines. PC Gilles Loiselle won in 1988, but was defeated in 1993. He was appointed president of the Treasury Board in 1990 and minister of finance in 1993.
