Riding Info

map icon

This rural riding is Ontario's most eastern constituency. The riding stretches along the Ottawa River and the Quebec border. It includes part of the city of Ottawa lying east of Cardinal Creek, Wall Road, Mer Bleue Road and Boundary Road. The towns of Casselman, Alfred, Plantagenet, Hawkesbury, Clarence-Rockland and Russell fall within the riding.

Glengarry-Prescott was created in the 1952 redistribution from Glengarry and Prescott ridings. The name was changed to Glengarry-Prescott-Russell in 1970. In 1996, there were only minor changes. In 2004, a portion of the riding extending southeast to the St. Lawrence River was moved into Stormont riding.

Population: 104,309 (2006 census; an increase of 6.6% since 2001)

Political History

In 2008, Conservative Pierre Lemieux won over Liberal Dan Boudria by 5,662 votes. In 2006, the riding was home to a tight race between Lemieux and Liberal René Berthiaume, with Lemieux winning by only 203 votes. The win upset the Liberals' hold on the territory since 1962.

In 2004, Boudria's father, Liberal Don Boudria, defeated Conservative Alain Lalonde by 5,192 votes. Don Boudria held the seat from 1984, but announced in May 2005 he was not running again.

Boudria held several portfolios in Jean Chrétien's government, including government whip, minister responsible for the Francophonie and government House leader. He was minister of public works and government services, but resigned from that post in 2002 when it was revealed he had stayed at a luxury chalet belonging to the owner of Groupe Everest, a Quebec firm that did much business with the federal government. Groupe Everest was one of the firms at the centre of the sponsorship scandal.
