Political History
Ève-Mary Thai Thi Lac and the Bloc Québécois kept this riding in 2008, winning 47 per cent of the vote.
Thai Thi Lac took office in a September 2007 byelection for the BQ after MP Yvan Loubier resigned to run — unsuccessfully, as it turned out — for the Parti Québécois in the 2007 Quebec provincial election.
Loubier and the Bloc Québécois had held this riding since 1993. In 2006, Loubier beat Conservative Huguette Guilhaumon by more than 15,000 votes to win his fifth term. In 2004, he defeated his closest challenger by more than 19,000 votes.
Prior to that, Andrée Champagne of the Progressive Conservative party served for two terms. Marcel Ostiguy of the Liberal party was elected in a byelection in 1978 after the resignation of Conservative MP Claude Wagner, who was first elected federally in 1972.
Wagner had served earlier as a Liberal MNA and served as Quebec's attorney general and minister of justice. Wagner ran for the provincial Liberal leadership and lost to Robert Bourassa in 1970. In 1976, he ran for the leadership of the federal Progressive Conservatives, but lost to Joe Clark by 65 votes. Wagner was appointed to the Senate in 1978, but died a year later at 54.
Ostiguy served as MP until he was ousted by Champagne in 1984. Conservative J.-H.-Théogène Ricard served as MP for the riding from 1957 until 1972.
