Private-bill Notice and Election Returns

Summary#

This Canada Gazette issue lists short parliamentary notices. It records that a rule about private-bill notices was published and that two notices about the return of a Member from the 43rd general election were published earlier as Extra issues.

What it does#

• Publishes that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices of intended applications for private bills) was printed in Canada Gazette, Part I on November 30, 2019. It gives a contact for more information: the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons (West Block, Room 314‑C) and the Clerk, Charles Robert; phone 613‑992‑9511.
• Notes that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer issued two brief notices under the Canada Elections Act titled “Return of a Member elected at the 43rd general election.” Those notices appeared as Extra Vol. 153, No. 16 on November 27, 2019 and Extra Vol. 153, No. 17 on December 3, 2019.

Who's affected#

• Private members of Parliament who want to introduce a private bill or need to follow the notice process.
• The House of Commons and people tracking parliamentary business.
• People interested in election results and who holds seats from the 43rd general election — although this Gazette entry does not give the member’s name, it points to earlier notices that do.
• Researchers, journalists, and political staff who follow official publications for formal notices.

Why it matters#

• These are formal, administrative notices that help keep parliamentary business and election returns transparent and findable.
• If you want to apply for a private bill, or confirm who was returned in the 43rd general election, the entry tells you where those notices were published and who to contact.
