Standing Order 130 and Elector Determination

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry (Part I, Vol. 158, No. 25, published June 22, 2024) records two short parliamentary notices. It points readers to a previously published notice about Standing Order 130 (private bills) and to a notice from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer under the Canada Elections Act that was published as Extra Vol. 158, No. 6 on June 17, 2024.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices of intended applications for private bills) was published previously on November 20, 2021, and gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons. The item is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.
• Records that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a “Determination of number of electors” notice under the Canada Elections Act, and that this notice appeared as Extra Vol. 158, No. 6 on June 17, 2024.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and private members who want to introduce private bills — they need to follow the notice rules in Standing Order 130.
• Parliamentary staff who handle private bills and notices, including the Private Members’ Business Office.
• Officials and stakeholders who track electoral administration — including Elections Canada, political parties, and candidates — because the item confirms a published determination about electors.
• General public and media who follow parliamentary procedure or election preparations. The Gazette item itself does not give elector numbers or detailed instructions.

Why it matters#

• It tells people where to find the official notices and who to contact for more information about private bills or the elector determination.
• The elector determination is part of routine election administration; it can matter for planning, funding, and logistics during elections, though this Gazette entry only points to the already-published notice and does not give the details.
