OttawavanierOttawaVanier is a federal and provincial electoral district that makes up the eastern part of downtown Ottawa. Federally the riding is currently represented by Liberal Mauril Belanger and provincially by Liberal Madeleine Meilleur. The riding, with its large Franco-Ontarian population in Vanier is one of the most solidly Liberal in the country, having elected Liberals both federally and provincially in every election since its creation. The large number of civil servants also increases support for the Liberals. A sizable minority of the riding is in the former city of Vanier, which was merged with Ottawa in 2000. Vanier has long been home to much of Ottawa's francophone population a group that is solidly Liberal. The riding also contains the wealthiest part of Ottawa, Rockcliffe Park, which gives some support to the Conservatives, but also to the Liberals. The anglophone middle class neighbourhoods of Sandy Hill, containing the University of Ottawa, and New Edinburgh also tend to vote Liberal, but with significant support for the NDP. Federally, it was known as Ottawa East until 1973; provincially until 1999. List of MPs - Edgar Rudolphe Eugn Chevrier, Liberal (1935-1936)
