Notices: Private Bills and Electors

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry records a brief set of parliamentary and electoral notices. It refers to the earlier publication of Standing Order 130 about notices for private bills (November 20, 2021) and notes a Determination of number of electors published by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer as Extra Vol. 158, No. 7 on August 16, 2024.

What it does#

• Reminds readers that the notice for intended applications for private bills under Standing Order 130 was published in the Gazette on November 20, 2021.
  • Gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office: West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, phone 613‑992‑9511.
  • Names Eric Janse as Clerk of the House of Commons in the notice.
• Notes that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a Determination of number of electors, and that the notice appeared as Extra Vol. 158, No. 7 (PDF) on August 16, 2024.

Who's affected#

• People or groups planning to apply for a private bill, and their Members of Parliament.
• Staff who manage private members’ business in the House of Commons.
• Anyone tracking electoral data or election administration who watches notices from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer.
• The Gazette item itself does not give the content of the elector determination, so it is unclear who else might be directly affected.

Why it matters#

• These are routine administrative notices that help keep a public record.
• If you plan to pursue a private bill, the reference to Standing Order 130 and the contact details tell you where to get guidance.
• A "determination of number of electors" can matter for electoral planning and management, but this particular Gazette entry does not say what the determination found, so you would need to consult the Extra Vol. 158, No. 7 notice for details.
