By-election winners: Elmwood—Transcona; LaSalle—Émard—Verdun

Summary#

The Canada Gazette item records the formal return of winners from the federal by-elections held on September 16, 2024 under the Canada Elections Act. The returns were received on September 27, 2024, naming Leila Dance (Elmwood—Transcona) and Louis-Philippe Sauvé (LaSalle—Émard—Verdun).
It also notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices for private bills) was published earlier on November 20, 2021, with contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office.

What it does#

• Announces the official returns of two federal by-elections held on September 16, 2024.
• Lists the winners:
  • Leila Dance — Elmwood—Transcona
  • Louis-Philippe Sauvé — LaSalle—Émard—Verdun
• Records that the returns were received by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer on September 27, 2024, under section 317 of the Canada Elections Act.
• Reminds readers that Standing Order 130 about private-bill notices was published on November 20, 2021, and gives a contact for the Private Members’ Business Office.

Who's affected#

• Residents and voters of Elmwood—Transcona and LaSalle—Émard—Verdun — they now have the named MPs as their federal representatives.
• The political parties and local campaign teams involved in those by-elections.
• The House of Commons, because two seats have been filled (this can matter for representation and votes).
• If unclear: the notice does not describe any other wider changes beyond these returns.

Why it matters#

• Constituents in the two districts now have elected Members of Parliament to raise local issues and provide constituency services.
• Filling these seats updates the composition of the House of Commons, which can matter for parliamentary votes if the overall margins are close.
• The publication is a routine legal step that makes the election results official and publicly visible.
