Deregistration of two riding associations and party

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice lists a reminder about a House of Commons standing order and several deregistrations under the Canada Elections Act. The items say three groups (two local riding associations and one political party) will be deregistered effective February 28, 2023.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices for private bills) was previously published and gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office of the House of Commons.
• Announces the deregistration of the registered electoral district association Newmarket-Aurora-Richmond Hill Regional PPC Association, effective February 28, 2023.
• Announces the deregistration of the registered electoral district association Steveston—Richmond East Federal NDP Riding Association, effective February 28, 2023.
• Announces the deregistration of the registered political party National Citizens Alliance of Canada, effective February 28, 2023.

Who's affected#

• Members, volunteers and local organizers of the named riding associations: Newmarket-Aurora-Richmond Hill Regional PPC Association and Steveston—Richmond East Federal NDP Riding Association.
• Supporters, donors and officials of the named party: National Citizens Alliance of Canada.
• Elections Canada staff who manage registrations and records.
• The notice itself does not explain why these deregistrations happened. It is not clear from this item what specific practical steps those groups must now take.

Why it matters#

• A deregistration notice means those groups are removed from the official list of registered associations or parties at the federal level as of February 28, 2023.
• That change can affect how a local association or party operates publicly, but this notice does not list the immediate consequences (for example, on fundraising, official recognition, or candidate nominations).
• If you belong to or donate to any of these groups, you may want to contact Elections Canada or the groups directly for details.
