[edit] History
Abitibi riding was created in 1966 from parts of Chapleau and Saguenay electoral districts. In 1976, parts of Villeneuve were incorporated. The electoral district's name was changed in 1998 to "Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik".
In the 2003 re-distribution, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik was abolished. A new riding, "Nunavik—Eeyou", was created with substatilly the same territory as Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik. Parts of Manicouagan and Roberval ridings were added, while a part was lost to Abitibi—Témiscamingue. Its name was changed to "Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou" after the 2004 election.
