1993 federal elections. His
riding was the
Restigouche electoral district, renamed in 1989 to Restigouche-Chaleur. Arseneault therefore served in the
34th and
35th Canadian Parliaments.
For the
1997 federal election, the ridings were restructured, and this time Arseneault campaigned at the
Madawaska—Restigouche electoral district. However,
Progressive Conservative candidate
Jean F. Dubé won the riding. Arseneault left federal politics after this defeat.
On 9 June 2018, Arseneault became the official Liberal candidate for the 2018 New Brunswick provincial election held on 24 September in the riding of
Campbellton-Dalhousie, which he won. He was re-elected in the
2020 provincial election.
