History and geography
Nigadoo—Chaleur was created in the 1973 electoral redistribution as one of the five districts from the previous Gloucester district, defined as the parish of Beresford and the villages in that area of Gloucester County.[1] It gained the remaining part of Belledune in Durham Parish from Restigouche East (which merged into Dalhousie-Restigouche East) and lost the area of parish of Beresford south of the Nigadoo River to Nepisiguit-Chaleur (now Nepisiguit) in the 1994 redistribution[2] but did not change further in 2006.[3]
In its current form, it ranges from Belledune in the north, following the coast along the Chaleur Bay through the villages of Pointe-Verte, Petit-Rocher and Nigadoo to Beresford. It also includes some settlements behind the coast villages, including Madran, Laplante, Dauversière, Alcida, Tremblay and the northern part of Saint Laurent.[4]
The riding is bordered by Bathurst to the southeast, Nepisiguit to the south, Dalhousie-Restigouche East to the west, and Chaleur Bay to the northeast.
During the 53rd Legislative Assembly, Albert Doucet was removed from the Liberal cabinet on February 5, 1997[5] and then was removed from caucus in March of that year, due to comments criticizing NB Power, the Liberals' efforts to help Northern New Brunswick, and then Premier Frank McKenna's leadership. He sat as an independent until January 30, 1998[6] when he was accepted back into the Liberal fold.
Current Member of the Legislative Assembly
The MLA for Nigadoo–Chaleur is Roland Haché, who was first elected MLA in 1999, making him the second most senior Liberal (behind former premier Shawn Graham) and tied with many Conservatives for third most senior MLA. He serves as opposition Critic for Wellness, Culture and Sport, and Tourism and Parks.
