History
The electoral district of Saint-Laurent was created in 1987 from Dollard, Laval-des-Rapides and Saint-Denis. The name was changed to Saint-Laurent—Cartierville in 1989.
This riding lost territory to Ahuntsic-Cartierville during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding gains the territory south of Boul. Acadie and east of Boul. Henri-Bourassa from Ahuntsic-Cartierville.
It was represented since a by-election in 2017 by Emmanuella Lambropoulos, member of the Liberal Party. It has long been regarded as one of the safest Liberal ridings in the nation.
