From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lafontaine (also known as Lafontaine—Rosemont) was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1949 to 1979.

This riding was created in 1947 from parts of Hochelaga, St. James and St. mary ridings. It consisted of a part of the city of Montreal.
