Salaberry—Suroît was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for 19 October 2015.[3]

Following the 2022 federal electoral boundaries redistribution, the riding will largely be replaced by Beauharnois—Salaberry—Soulanges—Huntingdon. It gains Les Cèdres and Pointe-des-Cascades from Vaudreuil—Soulanges; and loses the remainder of the Le Haut-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality and both the Village and Township of Hemmingford to the new riding of Châteauguay—Les Jardins-de-Napierville.

Profile

edit

The Bloc dominates the north of the riding, in areas such as Beauharnois, Salaberry-de-Vallefield and Les Coteaux. To the south, the Liberals perform better in rural, more Anglophone communities such as Huntingdon and Ormstown. These distinctions were true even as the NDP held the riding in 2015.
