Summary
Summary#
This Canada Gazette entry lists short parliamentary notices published on June 1, 2024. It points to the prior publication of Standing Order 130 (about notices for private bills) on November 20, 2021, and notes that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a "Determination of number of electors" as Extra Vol. 158, No. 4 on May 24, 2024. It also gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office and names Eric Janse as Clerk of the House of Commons.
What it does#
- Reminds readers that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices of intended applications for private bills) was previously published in the Gazette on November 20, 2021.
- Records that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer posted a notice titled "Determination of number of electors" and that this notice appeared as Extra Vol. 158, No. 4 on May 24, 2024.
- Provides contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; 613‑992‑9511) and lists Eric Janse as Clerk of the House of Commons.
Who's affected#
- Members of Parliament and anyone planning to apply for a private bill (they may need to follow Standing Order 130).
- Parliamentary staff who manage private members’ business and records.
- Elections administrators, political parties, candidates and others who follow elector-count information from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer.
- The public generally, although the Gazette entry here does not include the full text of the elector determination, so it’s not clear from this notice what specific numbers or changes were made.
Why it matters#
- If you want to introduce a private bill, the reference to Standing Order 130 and the contact details tell you where to get guidance or start the process.
- A published "Determination of number of electors" is part of how elections are organized. The Gazette note confirms that such a determination was made public, but this entry does not show the actual counts or explain their effects.
