Halifax Regional PPC Association deregistered

Summary#

This Canada Gazette, Part I notice (published December 13, 2025) contains two short House of Commons items. It notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices for intended private bills) was published earlier, and it records the deregistration of the Halifax Regional PPC Association under the Canada Elections Act, effective December 31, 2025.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published in the Gazette on May 24, 2025. It gives contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa; phone 613‑992‑9511).
• States that, under the Canada Elections Act, the Halifax Regional PPC Association is deregistered, with that deregistration effective December 31, 2025. The notice is dated November 27, 2025 and attributed to Jeff Merrett (Senior Director, Political Financing).

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament, their staff, or anyone planning to pursue a private bill who may need the details in Standing Order 130 or to contact the Private Members’ Business Office.
• Organizers, volunteers, donors and local supporters connected to the Halifax Regional PPC Association — and others interested in local political organization in the Halifax area.
• The notice does not explain why the association was deregistered, so anyone affected may need to seek further information from Elections Canada or the political party involved.

Why it matters#

• The private-bill note is mainly procedural; it points people to where to find or ask about the rules for bringing private bills.
• Deregistration removes the group’s official registration under the law. That can affect how the local group operates, fundraising, and campaign activities. The Gazette notice does not list the specific consequences or the reason for deregistration, so the practical effects for individuals or candidates in Halifax may require further clarification from election authorities.
