Across Quebec, 44 of the 78 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. Provincially, Saint-Placide votes in Mirabel; the open record doesn’t name its MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) in the National Assembly of Québec, so the legislature’s own list is linked below. Saint-Placide is in Mirabel, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Jean-Denis Garon of the Bloc Québécois. The council of the municipality also counts 6 councillors.

saintplacide.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- Council money. Per resident uses MAMH’s population; the 2024 financial report gives charges by service and the financial profile the revenue, debt and reserves.
- Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
