Summary#
This brief notice from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer under the Canada Elections Act says the official "Return of members elected at the 45th general election" was previously published as Extra Vol. 159, No. 7 on Friday, May 9, 2025 and as Extra Vol. 159, No. 8 on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. The Gazette entry is simply announcing those prior publications; it does not reproduce the list of elected members here.
What it does#
- Confirms that the "Return of members elected at the 45th general election" was published in two Extra issues: Extra Vol. 159, No. 7 (published Friday, May 9, 2025) and Extra Vol. 159, No. 8 (published Tuesday, May 13, 2025).
- Does not provide the names or details of the elected members in this notice.
- Serves as an administrative record that the return was officially published.
Who's affected#
- The primary subject is the group of people elected in the 45th general election.
- The notice is also relevant to Parliament, political parties, journalists, and members of the public who track official election records.
- The Gazette entry does not list individual members, so anyone seeking the full list will need to consult the cited Extra issues or the Office's official publications.
Why it matters#
- It puts on the public record that the official return of elected members was published on the listed dates.
- That publication is a routine step in documenting election outcomes and keeping a transparent public record.
- The item is administrative in nature; it does not introduce new policy or change anyone's status beyond confirming the earlier publication.
