From Quebec come 78 MPs, 44 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. Kahnawake sends one MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) to the National Assembly of Québec from Châteauguay, though no open record we can reuse gives the name. As a reserve, Kahnawake is run by its First Nation’s council, which the open municipal lists don’t cover.
Three governments, and who does what
Kahnawake is a First Nations reserve: its band council, Ottawa and Quebec share the work.
The First Nation’s own band council.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

electionsquebec.qc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
