Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice records the official return under the Canada Elections Act that Shuv Majumdar was elected to the House of Commons for the electoral district Calgary‑Heritage. The by‑election was held on July 24, 2023 and the election return was received on August 18, 2023.

What it does#

  • States that, under the Canada Elections Act, a return has been received showing Shuv Majumdar elected for Calgary‑Heritage.
  • Notes a House of Commons procedural item about private bills and Standing Order 130 (this earlier notice was published on November 20, 2021) and gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office.
  • Names Stéphane Perrault as the Chief Electoral Officer who filed the return and Eric Janse as Acting Clerk of the House of Commons (both named in the notice).

Who's affected#

  • People who live in the Calgary‑Heritage electoral district — they now have an MP in the House of Commons.
  • The political party of Shuv Majumdar and other parties, for voting math and local organization.
  • Parliamentary and election officials who keep formal records.
  • If unclear who else is affected, the notice does not list any broader impacts.

Why it matters#

  • It fills a vacancy in the House of Commons so residents of Calgary‑Heritage have representation again.
  • The change can matter for close votes in Parliament and for local access to federal services through an MP’s office.
  • Otherwise, this is a routine administrative declaration required by election law.
