Parliamentary notices: private bills and elector count

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry lists short parliamentary notices. It records that Standing Order 130 about notices for private bills was published earlier, and that a Canada Elections Act notice on the determination of the number of electors appeared as Extra Vol. 160, No. 7 on August 24, 2026.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (rules on 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 at the House of Commons for more information.
• Announces that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a Canada Elections Act notice titled “Determination of number of electors.” That notice appeared as Extra Vol. 160, No. 7 on August 24, 2026.
• Lists the clerk contact shown in the entry: Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons (contact details appear in the original notice).

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament who plan to introduce or sponsor private bills, and their staff.
• Parliamentary offices that manage private members’ business.
• Elections officials and anyone watching electoral administration, because the notice relates to the official count or determination of electors.
• The general public indirectly, since electors’ counts feed into how elections are run.
  If you need the exact elector numbers or procedural steps, the Gazette notice refers readers to the original publications; the short entry here does not give those figures.

Why it matters#

• It provides official, public notice of parliamentary and electoral administrative steps.
• For MPs and their staff, the Standing Order notice is the starting point for applying to introduce private bills.
• For election administrators and the public, the elector-determination notice is part of the information used to plan elections and manage voter lists.
  Overall, these are routine but important transparency steps that tell affected people where to get more details.
