Its current Member of Parliament is Rachel Bendayan of the Liberal Party of Canada.

In the 2006 election, the Liberals had their strongest support in Côte-des-Neiges, on the eastern slopes of Mont-Royal and in the small part of the riding in the Parc-Extension neighbourhood.

The Bloc had its support concentrated in the borough of Outremont, and around the Université de Montréal.

In the 2008 election, the NDP held on to Outremont, albeit with a lower percentage of overall support.

Mulcair held it since winning a by-election in 2007, earning a Quebec seat for the party for only the second time in history.

He was challenged in 2011 by Liberal Martin Cauchon, who held this riding from 1993 to 2004 and was a former cabinet minister.
