Deregistration of Several Riding Associations

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice records routine parliamentary and electoral-administration items from the House of Commons. It reports the deregistration of several local party organizations under the Canada Elections Act, including the Toronto East PPC Regional Association effective December 15, 2023, and a larger group of associations effective December 31, 2023.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices for private bills) was published earlier on November 20, 2021 and points readers to the Private Members’ Business Office for more information.
• Announces the deregistration of the Toronto East PPC Regional Association, effective December 15, 2023 (notice dated November 14, 2023, signed by Josée Villeneuve).
• Announces the deregistration, effective December 31, 2023, of the following electoral district associations (two notices dated November 14, 2023 and November 8, 2023, signed by Anne Lawson):
  • Beauport–Limoilou Green Party Association
  • Carleton Federal Green Party Association
  • Centrist Party of Canada Fredericton Electoral District Association
  • Chatham–Sarnia Regional PPC Association
  • Green Party of Canada Eglinton–Lawrence EDA
  • Hamilton Regional PPC Association
  • Maverick Banff—Airdrie Electoral District Association
  • Red Deer Mountain View
  • Souris–Moose Mountain Maverick Party Association
  • Trois-Rivières Green Party Association
  • West Nova - South Shore Regional Association
  • Calgary-Midnapore Maverick Party Electoral District Association
  • Cypress Hills–Grasslands Federal Green Party Association
  • Souris–Moose Mountain Federal Green Party Association
  • South Surrey–White Rock Federal NDP Riding Association
  • Spadina–Fort York Federal Green Party Association

Who's affected#

• The named local party organizations and their officials and members.
• Local candidates, campaign volunteers and donors who work with or give to those associations.
• Political parties that operate in those ridings (for example the Green Party of Canada, the Maverick Party, the Centrist Party of Canada, and local NDP associations).
• The public will be affected only to the extent that local party organization and fundraising change in those ridings.

Why it matters#

• Deregistration removes an association’s formal status under the Canada Elections Act, so it can no longer act as a registered electoral district association.
• That change can affect things like official fundraising, record‑keeping and the way a local campaign is organized. The Gazette notice lists the deregistrations and effective dates (December 15, 2023 and December 31, 2023) but does not spell out every administrative consequence.
• For anyone involved locally with the named groups—members, donors or prospective candidates—this is the official public record that the groups are no longer registered.
