Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine (French pronunciation: [gaspezi il də la madlɛn]) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 2004.

It was created by the Representation Order of 2003 from parts of Bonaventure—Gaspé—Îles-de-la-Madeleine—Pabok and Matapédia—Matane ridings.

Geography

The riding occupies the eastern part of the Gaspé Peninsula, as well as the Magdalen Islands. The Magdalen Islands, being in the Atlantic time zone, report election results one hour earlier than the rest of the riding, which in the Eastern Time Zone with the rest of Quebec.

History

From 2004 to 2011 it consisted of:

(a) the regional county municipalities of Bonaventure, La Côte-de-Gaspé and Le Rocher-Percé; (b) the Regional County Municipality of Avignon, including Gesgapegiag and Listuguj Indian reserves; and (c) the Municipality of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, the former riding of Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine was dissolved, largely being replaced by Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, with the Avignon Regional County Municipality going to Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, and gaining La Haute-Gaspésie Regional County Municipality from Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia.
