Standing Order 130; Elector Count Notice

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry (Part I, Vol. 158, No. 37) notes two parliamentary administrative items published in the Gazette. It records the earlier publication of Standing Order 130 about private-bill notices and points to a published Canada Elections Act notice on the determination of the number of electors.

What it does#

• Confirms that Standing Order 130 (rules about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Notes that a Determination of number of electors under the Canada Elections Act was published separately as Extra Vol. 158, No. 8 on September 9, 2024.
• Gives a contact for more information: the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa) and the Clerk, Eric Janse.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament, their staff, and people or groups who want to apply for a private bill.
• Election administrators, political parties, candidates, and anyone tracking electorate numbers — because the Gazette entry points to a formal notice about elector counts.
• The entry itself is administrative; it does not spell out details such as the actual elector numbers or any changes to rules.

Why it matters#

• It’s mainly a routine publication that helps people find the official notices they may need.
• If you’re planning to apply for a private bill, this points to the standing order that sets how notices work.
• If you care about elections or local voter counts, the reference to the Canada Elections Act notice indicates the official elector-count determination has been published; you would need to look up the referenced Extra issue to see the actual numbers.
