Laurier—Sainte-Marie

Template:Short description Template:Use Canadian English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Canada electoral district

Laurier—Sainte-Marie ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is a federal electoral district in Downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which has been represented in the House of Commons since the 1988 federal election. Its 2016 population was 111,835.

Since 2019, its member of Parliament (MP) has been Steven Guilbeault of the Liberal Party.

GeographyEdit

The district includes Côte Saint-Louis and the eastern parts of the Plateau and Mile End in the Borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and the eastern part of Downtown Montreal and the western part of Centre-Sud (including part of the neighbourhood of Sainte-Marie) in the Borough of Ville-Marie.

HistoryEdit

In 1987, the district of "Laurier—Sainte-Marie" was created from Laurier, Montreal—Sainte-Marie and Saint-Jacques ridings.

In 2003, Laurier—Sainte-Marie was abolished when it was redistributed into Laurier and Hochelaga ridings.

After the 2004 election, Laurier riding was renamed "Laurier—Sainte-Marie" in 2004.

The name comes from Laurier Avenue, a street in Plateau Mont-Royal named after Wilfrid Laurier, and Sainte-Marie, a former name for Centre-Sud, which in turn came from a parish church dedicated to Saint Mary.

The riding was represented by Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Bloc Québécois, until 2011, when he was defeated by Hélène Laverdière of the New Democratic Party.

This riding lost territory to Outremont and Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Sœurs, and gained territory from Hochelaga, Westmount—Ville-Marie and Outremont during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
