Mount Royal Election Erratum and Standing Order

Summary#

This item lists short House of Commons notices published in the Canada Gazette on May 31, 2025. It says Standing Order 130 (about private bills) was published, and it corrects an earlier error in the English name of the electoral district for Mount Royal, showing the member as Anthony Housefather.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published in the Canada Gazette on May 24, 2025. It gives a contact for the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, 613‑992‑9511).
• Publishes an erratum from Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons, saying an earlier Gazette notice of elected members had an error in the English name of the electoral district. The correct listing shows the electoral district Mount Royal and member Anthony Housefather.
• Says the online HTML version has already been corrected.
• Notes that the return-of-members notice was also published as Extra Vol. 159, No. 12 on May 21, 2025, and as Extra Vol. 159, No. 13 on May 26, 2025.

Who's affected#

• Residents of the Mount Royal electoral district and people checking official election returns for that riding.
• Anthony Housefather (the named member) and anyone tracking his election record.
• Members of Parliament, parliamentary staff, and anyone planning to apply for a private bill who needs to know about Standing Order 130.
• Users of the Canada Gazette and researchers who rely on accurate online records.

Why it matters#

• It fixes the public record so election results and member lists are accurate. That matters if you look up who represents a riding or use the Gazette as an official source.
• Publishing Standing Order 130 informs MPs and applicants about the rules for private-bill applications.
• The changes are administrative and do not announce new policy or law; they mainly ensure the government’s published records are correct and reachable.
