GeographyEdit
The district includes eastern Gloucester County, and the communities along Nepisiguit Bay. The neighbouring ridings are Miramichi (electoral district) and Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
HistoryEdit
Created at Confederation in 1867, the electoral district was known as Gloucester until a 1990 Act of Parliament renamed it to its current designation.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
After electoral boundary changes in 2003, residents argued that regional interests, particularly linguistic representation, were improperly diluted.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> The Library of Parliament recounts the Federal Court of Canada's Raîche v. Canada (Attorney General decision:
- "The Court held that while the electoral boundaries commission for New Brunswick had been within its right to try keep any variance in the population of electoral districts under 10%, it did not correctly interpret the spirit of the EBRA (Electoral Bounds Readjustment Act) when it failed to consider whether a greater variation in regard of community of interest and regional features would be desirable for any electoral districts. The Court declared invalid the Miramichi and Acadie–Bathurst electoral boundaries."
The boundaries reverted to the ones used in the 1996 representation after the 2006 election. The 1997 general election saw the NDP take the riding for the first time, with Yvon Godin holding the district until 2015.
As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, the riding gained a small territory from what was part of Miramichi. Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding united all of the Regional Municipality of Tracadie into the riding, taking parts of the municipality from Miramichi—Grand Lake.

Student vote resultsEdit
Template:Image frame A student vote was conducted at participating Canadian schools to parallel Canadian federal election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.
