History
The riding is named after former prime minister Louis St. Laurent , and is mostly a reconfigured version of his old riding of Quebec East ; ironically, it has not been represented by an MP from his Liberal Party at any point since its creation. In the 2004 federal election, Bernard Cleary defeated Conservative candidate Josée Verner by some 3,000 votes. Verner's win in the 2006 election , was part of a Conservative breakthrough in Quebec that helped the party win government for the first time. After five years, Verner was swept out by the NDP's Alexandrine Latendresse as part of the NDP's sweep of Quebec City.
