Summary

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry notes a parliamentary housekeeping item and a short electoral update. Under the Canada Elections Act, the Durham Region PPC Association and the Milton - PPC Association are listed as deregistered effective November 30, 2025. The page also records that Standing Order 130 was previously published on May 24, 2025 for notices about private bills.

What it does#

  • Announces deregistration of two local party organizations under the Canada Elections Act:
    • Durham Region PPC Association — deregistered effective November 30, 2025.
    • Milton - PPC Association — deregistered effective November 30, 2025.
  • Notes that Standing Order 130, which concerns notices of intended applications for private bills, was published on May 24, 2025 and points readers to the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons for more information.
  • Identifies the notice about deregistrations as issued by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer (signed by Jeff Merrett, Senior Director, Political Financing) on October 27, 2025.

Who's affected#

  • Members, volunteers and supporters of the Durham Region PPC Association and the Milton - PPC Association.
  • Local donors and people involved in local party fundraising or candidate nomination activities tied to those district associations.
  • People who follow private members’ business in the House of Commons (for the Standing Order 130 notice).
  • The notice does not say whether other groups or the general public are directly affected.

Why it matters#

  • Deregistration removes these groups from the official list of registered electoral district associations. The notice itself does not spell out the next steps or specific legal effects.
  • In practice, losing registered status can change how a local party group operates (for example, how it handles funds or formal party activities), so local members and donors may need to check with Elections Canada or the party for details.
  • The Standing Order 130 reference is mainly procedural: it tells people where to find rules about private bill notices and whom to contact at the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons.
