Hull-Aylmer, which includes those two districts of Gatineau and makes up a good part of the city west of the Gatineau River, changes little in the riding redistribution process.

The regular independent boundary review that followed the 2021 census takes the area bordered by boulevards des Allumettières Saint-Raymond and des Grives and chemin Pink, and transfers it to Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi.
