History

The electoral district was created in 1988 from Regina East, Regina West and Assiniboia. From 1993 to 2019, Ralph Goodale, who served as Minister of Finance and Minister of Public Safety, was the Member of Parliament. Between 2004 and 2015 (for the 38th through 41st Canadian Parliaments inclusive), Goodale was the only non-Conservative MP to serve a constituency in Saskatchewan. Along with Winnipeg North, Wascana was one of only two seats retained by the Liberals in the Prairie Provinces in the 2011 election.
