Riding Info
This riding is in the centre of Montreal and is bounded by Boulevard Pie-IX in the north and the CP Rail line in the southeast. It stretches between Rue Jean-Talon West and East, Papineau Avenue and Rue Bélanger in the west and Highway 138 in the east.
This riding was established in 1976. The riding name changed from Rosemont to Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie in 2000. In the 1976 redistribution, this riding was created from 45 per cent of St-Michel, 29 per cent of Lafontaine and 18 per cent of Maisonneuve-Rosemont. In 1996, 72 per cent of Rosemont was combined with 26 per cent of Hochelaga-Maissoneuve, 17 per cent of St-Denis and five per cent of Papineau-St-Michel.
Population: 105,864 (2006 census; an increase of 2.3% since 2001)
Political History
Sitting MP Bernard Bigras of the Bloc Québécois won a fifth term by a considerable margin in 2008. Bigras took 50 per cent of the vote and easily outdistanced his competitors in this riding contested by eight candidates.
In 2006, Bigras captured 55 per cent of the vote to defeat Liberal Suzanne Harvey. In 2004, Bigras received 60 per cent of the vote to defeat Liberal Christian Bolduc and win a third term.
In the former Rosemont riding, Liberal Claude-André Lachance, incumbent from Lafontaine, won in 1979 and 1980. In 1984, Progressive Conservative Suzanne Blais-Grenier was elected. She was appointed minister of environment in 1984 and minister of state for transport in 1985. She resigned from cabinet in 1985 and was expelled from the PC caucus in 1988 after she refused to withdraw allegations of kickbacks within the Quebec wing of the party. From that time, she sat as an Independent. In 1988, PC Benoît Tremblay won, but he left the PC caucus after Meech Lake failed and became a founding member of the Bloc Québécois in 1990. In 1993, Tremblay won for the BQ.
