La Salle is part of Macdonald, a rural municipality by Statistics Canada’s count. This page names no head of council for La Salle, as no open list of councils exists in Manitoba. The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file has no licence page we could read, so this page doesn’t place La Salle in a riding. Across Manitoba, 7 of the 14 MPs sit with the Conservative Party of Canada.

La Salle, a rural municipality in Manitoba, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
