Louis-Hébert (French pronunciation: ​[lwi ebɛʁ]) is a federal electoral district in the Canadian province of Quebec. Represented in the House of Commons since 1968, its population was certified, according to the detailed statistics of 2001, as 98,156.

Geography

The district, in the Quebec region of Capitale-Nationale, consists of the southern part of Quebec City, it is entirely the borough of Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge. It is also based mostly on the former city of Sainte-Foy, which was merged into the "megacity" of Quebec City in 2002.

The neighbouring ridings are Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, Louis-Saint-Laurent, Québec, Lévis—Bellechasse, and Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière.

The riding lost small fractions of territory to Louis-Saint-Laurent and Québec as a result of the 2012 electoral redistribution.

The electoral district was created in 1966 from Quebec East, Quebec South, Quebec West, and Québec—Montmorency ridings. The riding is notable for having had nine different people represent the riding since 1984; Suzanne Duplessis was elected that year and served two terms in the House of Commons until 1993. From then until 2019, every subsequent MP to represent the district was either defeated in the next election or retired from politics after a single term.
