Incumbent Greg Fergus won the previous election with over 50 per cent of the vote. He is seeking re-election and will be facing Conservative candidate Mike Duggan, a municipal councillor in Gatineau. 

History: This riding was a Liberal safe seat for almost a century, until Nycole Turmel of the NDP got into the office in 2011. The only other time, a non-Liberal leader was in office was when Gilles Rocheleau crossed the floor in 1990 before co-founding the Bloc Québécois with Lucien Bouchard.
