Louis-Hébert (federal electoral district)

Geography

The district, in the Quebec region of Capitale-Nationale, consists of the southern part of Quebec City, and is largely coextensive with the borough of Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge. It is based mostly on the former city of Sainte-Foy, which was merged into the "megacity" of Quebec City in 2002.

The neighbouring ridings are Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, Louis-Saint-Laurent, Québec, Lévis—Bellechasse, and Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière.

The riding lost small fractions of territory to Louis-Saint-Laurent and Québec as a result of the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding lost the area east of Av. Maguire to Québec Centre.

History

The electoral district was created in 1966 from Quebec East, Quebec South, Quebec West, and Québec—Montmorency ridings. The riding is notable for having had nine different people represent the riding since 1984; Suzanne Duplessis was elected that year and served two terms in the House of Commons until 1993. From then until 2019, every subsequent MP to represent the district was either defeated in the next election or retired from politics after a single term.
