Moncton—Dieppe (formerly known as Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe) is a federal electoral district in New Brunswick, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968.

History

The riding of Moncton was created in 1966 when the district of Westmorland was split. The other riding is now called Beauséjour. The riding's initial area consisted of the city of Moncton and town of Dieppe, two parishes in Westmorland County (Moncton and Salisbury), and the Parish of Coverdale in Albert County.

As the Moncton area grew in population the riding shrank. The area of Albert County outside the town of Riverview was removed in 1976, a large area north of Moncton was removed in 1987, and the Petitcodiac and Salisbury areas were removed in 1997, to the point where the riding no longer has any largely rural areas. In 1998, Riverview and Dieppe were added to the riding's name. In 2003, the more suburban areas of Riverview and the southern part of Dieppe were removed. Finally, in 2014, the remaining suburban areas of Dieppe were given to Beauséjour.

The riding includes the entire city of Moncton and most of the town of Riverview and the city of Dieppe excluding the north east section, i.e., Melanson Road and up to the city limits.[1][2]

The neighbouring ridings are Beauséjour and Fundy Royal.

As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding lost 8% of its territory to Beauséjour.

Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution, the riding lost the remainder of the Town of Riverview to Fundy Royal and gained the remainder of the City of Moncton from Beauséjour and Fundy Royal (2023 borders). This change came into effect upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election.

Members of Parliament

Moncton has elected some well-known and controversial members of Parliament. Former mayor Leonard Jones, who took a tough stance against French language education, won the Progressive Conservative Party nomination for the 1974 election, but party leader Robert Stanfield refused to sign his nomination papers because of Jones' opposition to party policy on Official bilingualism. Jones ran and won as an independent candidate.

Dennis Cochrane, later the leader of the New Brunswick PC Party, represented the city for one term in the 1980s, and Conservative, Robert Goguen, is the riding's current representative in the House of Commons.
