The Beauce riding has the highest percentage of people who answered "Canadian" as their ethnic origin in the 2006 Census (84.0%; multiple responses).[3]
It is also the riding with the highest percentage of Whites of European descent (99.3%).[4] [5] [6]
Geography [ ]
The riding is located in Central Quebec , to the south of Quebec City and covers the centre of the Beauce , straddling the Quebec region of Chaudière-Appalaches .
The electoral district has the regional county municipalities of Beauce-Sartigan and Robert-Cliche ; that part of the Regional County Municipality of Les Etchemins comprises the municipalities of Sainte-Aurélie , Saint-Benjamin , Saint-Prosper and Saint-Zacharie ; the Regional County Municipality of La Nouvelle-Beauce , excepting the Parish Municipality of Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon ; and that part of the Regional County Municipality of Le Granit comprises the municipalities of Saint-Ludger and Saint-Robert-Bellarmin .
The neighbouring ridings are Mégantic—L'Érable , Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière , and Lévis—Bellechasse .
History [ ]
The riding was created by the British North America Act of 1867 , and still exists today without any name changes, although its boundaries have been redefined numerous times.
According to the 2012 federal electoral redistribution , this riding will lose a small territory to Mégantic—L'Érable . It is one of a small minority of Quebecois ridings never to have elected a Bloc Quebecois MP, even in 1993.
