June 19, 2023 by-election winners

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice records the official returns of winners from the federal by-elections held on June 19, 2023. It names the four members declared elected and also notes a separate mention of Standing Order 130 and where to ask about private members’ business.

What it does#

• Under the Canada Elections Act, the Chief Electoral Officer reported the returns of the June 19, 2023 by‑elections and listed the members elected for each district:
  • Notre‑Dame‑de‑Grâce–Westmount — Anna Gainey
  • Oxford — Arpan Khanna
  • Portage—Lisgar — Branden Leslie
  • Winnipeg South Centre — Ben Carr
• The entry is signed by Stéphane Perrault, Chief Electoral Officer, as the official source of the returns.
• The page also notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices for intended private bills) was published in the Gazette on November 20, 2021, and gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office.
• It lists Eric Janse as Acting Clerk of the House of Commons for the related parliamentary notice.

Who's affected#

• Voters and residents in the four named electoral districts.
• Political parties and local campaign teams in those ridings.
• The House of Commons, because these are the people who will take the seats and vote there.
• Anyone seeking information about private members’ business who may contact the Private Members’ Business Office.

Why it matters#

• These results decide who represents those communities in Parliament. That affects local advocacy, federal services, and how those ridings are represented in votes on laws and budgets.
• The Gazette entry is a formal record that confirms the winners and lets other institutions and citizens know who the new MPs are.
• The note about Standing Order 130 points people to where they can get information if they want to bring forward a private bill.
