Riding Info
This riding takes in the southwest corner of Regina (the area west of Albert Street and south of the CP Rail line), plus the area south and west of that city. Outside Regina, the major population centre is Moose Jaw.
Palliser was created in 1996, with most of its residents coming from the old Moose Jaw-Lake Centre and Regina-Wascana ridings.
Population: 65,956 (2006 census; a decrease of 2.0% since 2001)
Political History
Conservative Ray Boughen won over New Democrat Don Mitchell by 3,290 votes in 2008.
In 2006, voters in Palliser returned Conservative Dave Batters after a tight race with New Democrat Jo-Anne Dusel.
In 2004, Batters edged out New Democrat Dick Proctor by 124 votes. Proctor had held the seat since 1997, never winning by more than 3,000 votes.
Moose Jaw-Lake Centre was solidly Tory from 1958 to 1988, then narrowly went to New Democrat Rod Laporte in the 1988 election. That same year, voters in Regina-Wascana elected Tory Larry Schneider.
In 1993, Schneider was replaced by Liberal Ralph Goodale, who became the minister of agriculture that same year. Goodale has continued to be elected in Wascana and was named minister of finance in 2003.
