Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia

The Bloc did the best, with results from the 2011 election transposed onto the new riding boundaries from the redistribution. Their stronghold in the riding is in and around Mont-Joli, and for the most part, they carried the rural areas, particularly in the northern portion of the district. The NDP's strength was in the south, in the part of the new riding taken from Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine. The area around Amqui offered the most diverse range of support, with all parties doing fairly well, but with the Bloc coming out on top. Matane, and the rural regions surrounding it, were the best portions of the seat for the Liberals, although they had to contend with strong support for the Bloc as well.

Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, which took place October 19, 2015.^[5]

The 2022 federal electoral boundaries redistribution eliminated one electoral district in the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie, citing large deviations from the provincial population quota for ridings in the region. The Boundaries Commission refused requests from local politicians and constituents to invoke the "extraordinary circumstances" provision of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act. Consequently, the 2023 representation order for Quebec abolished Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia and divided its territory between the neighbouring ridings of Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine and Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques.^[6]
