The district is the geographically smallest in predominantly rural Northern New Brunswick, consisting of the city of Campbellton, the town of Dalhousie and communities along a 20 km stretch of road between them.

The seat was vacated November 30, 2017; Arsenault was given an ultimatum by Liberal Leader Brian Gallant in reference to a perceived conflict of interest.^[1] This was not the first time he held the spotlight in controversy; in an infamous deal, over $70 million of taxpayer money (known as the Atcon Scanda^[2]) was lost through the decision making of the Liberal Caucus of which he was part (2009). The seat was won by Guy Arseneault on September 24, 2018.
