Standing Order 130; Elector Determination Published

Summary#

This page of the Canada Gazette records two short parliamentary notices. It reminds readers that Standing Order 130 (rules about notices for private bills) was published earlier, and it notes that a “Determination of number of electors” under the Canada Elections Act was published as Extra Vol. 158, No. 4 on May 24, 2024.

What it does#

• Says that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on November 20, 2021.
  • Provides contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; phone 613‑992‑9511) for more information.
• Records that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer has a notice titled “Determination of number of electors” and states that this notice was published as Extra Vol. 158, No. 4 on May 24, 2024.
• Lists Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons, as the official who signed the parliamentary entry.

Who's affected#

• MPs and their staff, and anyone planning to apply for a private bill, who need to follow Standing Order 130 or want the office contact details.
• People who follow election administration: political parties, candidates, election officials, journalists, and researchers who track elector counts and related notices under the Canada Elections Act.
• The notice itself does not give the elector numbers in this summary. It is unclear from this entry who will see immediate practical changes; the publication simply records that the elector determination was published.

Why it matters#

• It is an administrative transparency measure: the Gazette records when parliamentary and election-related notices are published so interested parties can find them.
• People who want to apply for a private bill need to know where to get guidance (contact information is provided).
• A published “determination of number of electors” can matter for election planning and for anyone tracking voter registration and resources, even if this particular Gazette entry only notes the publication rather than giving the detailed numbers.
