About the Riding
Longueuil—Saint-Hubert is overwhelmingly francophone, with over eighty percent of residents listing French as their mother tongue. The riding's population includes a growing number of immigrant families, particularly in the Vieux-Longueuil section. Public transit was a central local issue, with residents pressing for an extension of the Montreal metro's yellow line deeper into Longueuil and proposals for a tramway along Taschereau Boulevard. The riding also borders the Saint-Hubert Airport, a busy general aviation facility whose operations and future development attracted periodic local debate.
