L'Assomption (French pronunciation: [lasɔ̃psjɔ̃]) is a provincial electoral district in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada, which elects one member to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes the city of L'Assomption and part of the city of Repentigny, as well as a few other municipalities. It has existed continuously since the 1st Quebec Legislature. Since 2012 its member of the National Assembly (MNA) has been François Legault of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), who served as Premier of Quebec from 2018 to 2026.
It was created for the 1867 election; an electoral district of that name existed earlier in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada.
Geography
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost Saint-Sulpice and part of the city of Repentigny to the newly created Repentigny electoral district, but it gained Charlemagne and a different part of the city of Repentigny from Masson; it also gained the town of L'Épiphanie and the parish of L'Épiphanie as well as the part of the city of L'Assomption that it did not already have from Rousseau; it also gained part of the city of Terrebonne from the Terrebonne electoral district.
In the change from the 2011 to 2017 electoral map, it lost all of its territory in Terrebonne to the riding of Masson.
