House of Commons Summoned Oct 18, 2021

Summary#

This is the Proclamation Summoning the House of Commons to Meet on October 18, 2021. It formally calls the House of Commons to assemble on October 18, 2021. The proclamation was published as an extra on August 16, 2021 and appeared in the Canada Gazette on September 1, 2021.

What it does#

• Announces a formal meeting date for the House of Commons: October 18, 2021.
• Is issued under the Constitution Act, 1867 (the Gazette entry lists that law as the authority).
• Is a short, routine proclamation; the Gazette notice itself does not add details about the agenda or the reason for the date.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and their staff, who are expected to attend when the House meets.
• Political parties and the Prime Minister’s office, since the meeting date affects parliamentary business.
• Journalists, advocacy groups and members of the public who follow or interact with Parliament.
• The Gazette notice is brief; if any other groups are affected, the source does not say so.

Why it matters#

• It sets when Parliament will resume sitting, which matters for the timing of debates, votes and committee work.
• The meeting date can affect the schedule for new laws, government announcements and parliamentary oversight.
• The Gazette item is a formal, administrative step rather than a policy change; it mainly tells people when the House will meet.
