From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1979 to 1997.

This riding was created in 1976 from parts of Kamouraska and Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata ridings. It was abolished in 1996, and redistributed between Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques and Bellechasse—Etchemins—Montmagny—L'Islet ridings.
