Private Bill Notices and Elector Count

Summary#

This page in the Canada Gazette lists short parliamentary notices. It reminds readers that Standing Order 130 (about notices for private bills) was published previously on November 20, 2021, and it notes that a Canada Elections Act notice on the determination of the number of electors was published as Extra Vol. 158, No. 6 on June 17, 2024.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Gives contact information for the parliamentary office that handles private members’ business: the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6) and phone 613‑992‑9511. It is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.
• Announces that a notice under the Canada Elections Act about the determination of the number of electors was published as Extra Vol. 158, No. 6 (PDF) on June 17, 2024.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and their staff who plan to apply for private bills or need information about the notice process.
• The Private Members’ Business Office and other House of Commons staff who manage private-bill notices.
• Election administrators, political parties, researchers and others who use official elector counts or follow Canada Elections Act notices.
• If it’s unclear whether you are affected, the notice provides the office and phone number to ask.

Why it matters#

• These are routine transparency items: they tell the public that specific parliamentary and election notices have been published and where to get more information.
• For people preparing private bills, the reference and contact details show where to go for rules and filing guidance.
• For election watchers and administrators, the elector-determination notice signals that an updated official elector count has been posted (the Gazette entry points to the published PDF).
