History

The electoral district was created in 1871 after Manitoba joined the Canadian Confederation in 1870. It is notable for being the district that elected Louis Riel to the House of Commons.

The riding has a history of electing both liberal and conservative MPs, including Liberal Party MPs from 1875–1878, 1904–1957, 1968–1972 and 1993–2000; and conservative MPs (from the historical Conservative Party, the Progressive Conservatives, the Canadian Alliance, and the current Conservative Party), from 1871–1873, 1878–1904, 1957–1968, 1972–1993, and 2000–present. Louis Riel ran as an independent.

This riding lost territory to Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman and Portage—Lisgar, and gained territory from Selkirk—Interlake during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
