Bécancour—Nicolet—Saurel (formerly Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour and Richelieu) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968.
Geography
The riding, along the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River opposite the city of Trois-Rivières, straddles the Quebec regions of Centre-du-Québec and Montérégie.
The riding consists of:
- the Regional County Municipality of Pierre-De Saurel (formerly Le Bas-Richelieu)
- the Regional County Municipality of Nicolet-Yamaska, including Odanak Indian reserve No. 12; and
- the Regional County Municipality of Bécancour, including Wôlinak Indian reserve No. 11.
The neighbouring ridings are Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, Mégantic—L'Érable, Richmond—Arthabaska, Drummond, Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, Verchères—Les Patriotes, Berthier—Maskinongé, Trois-Rivières, Saint-Maurice—Champlain, and Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier.
History
It was created as "Richelieu" riding in 1968 from parts of Nicolet—Yamaska and Richelieu—Verchères ridings.
It was renamed "Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour" in 1998.
In 2003, Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour was abolished when it was redistributed into a new "Richelieu" riding, which incorporated parts of Lotbinière—L'Érable riding. Richelieu was renamed "Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour" after the 2004 election.
The 2012 federal electoral redistribution has concluded that this riding will have the same boundaries for the 42nd Canadian federal election, but will be renamed Bécancour—Nicolet—Saurel.
