FINAL ACT: the return of the writ. s.313(1): the returning officer, without delay after the sixth day following the completion of the validation of results or, after a recount, on receiving the judge's certificate, declares elected the candidate with the most votes; s.317: the Chief Electoral Officer publishes the names of the members elected in the Canada Gazette in the order the returns are received. 'Final' here means all 343 returns received and gazetted. The last notice, Canada Gazette Part I Extra No. 13 of 26 May 2025, reads: 'Notice is hereby given, pursuant to section 317 of the Canada Elections Act, that returns, or electronic copies thereof, have been received in the following order for the election of members to serve in the House of Commons of Canada' (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore, Terra Nova—The Peninsulas), signed 'May 23, 2025, Stéphane Perrault, Chief Electoral Officer'.
