Québec (formerly known as Langelier) is a federal electoral district that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968. It is located in Quebec City in the province of Quebec, Canada.

Since its creation, the riding has been a provincial bellwether in federal elections. No party has ever carried this riding without winning the most seats in Quebec.

Geography[edit]

The riding, in the Quebec region of Capitale-Nationale, consists of the central part of Quebec City, including the borough of La Cité and the southern part of the borough of Les Rivières, as well as the parish municipality of Notre-Dame-des-Anges.

The neighbouring ridings are Louis-Hébert, Louis-Saint-Laurent, Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, Beauport—Limoilou, and Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis.

The riding gained a small fraction of territory from Louis-Hébert as a result of the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution the riding will be renamed Québec Centre. It will also gain gain the area east of Av. Maguire from Louis-Hébert. This will come into effect at the first election held after approximately April 2024.[2]
