| Description | Located in southeast New Brunswick, this riding consists of the city of Moncton and the neighbouring towns of Riverview and Dieppe.
There is a large Acadian population: according to the 2001 census, almost 36 per cent of the riding's 83,191 residents list French as their mother tongue. About three per cent of residents are immigrants.
Moncton serves as the transport and distribution centre for the region, as well as the regional headquarters of a number of federal government departments. Major employers include the Université de Moncton and several new high-tech industries. Fourteen per cent of residents have a university degree, and the average family income is $59,095. Unemployment is eight per cent.
This riding was established in 1966. In the redistributions of both 1996 and 2004, about 10 per cent of the population was shifted to other ridings.
