Redistributed results showed that Conservative Lisa Raitt won the area easily in 2011, although her vote share dropped in the 2015 election and the Liberals took the riding in 2019.
The riding (electoral district) in its current form consists of the part of Burlington north of Dundas Street and Highway 407 and the town of Milton.
[2] The eponymous town, which makes up much of the riding's area, is a quickly-growing settlement which dates back to the 1820s.
