Beauce is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1867. In 2006, it had a population of 103,617 people, of whom 82,123 were eligible voters.

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 White Caucasians (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.
