An Act to change the name of the electoral district of Châteauguay—Lacolle
Bill S-207 in 44-1 was a Senate Private Member's Bill changing the name of the federal electoral district of Châteauguay-Lacolle to Châteauguay-Les Jardins-de-Napierville, reflecting an Elections Canada constituency-boundary review. Federal-electoral-district name changes typically follow the decennial Federal Electoral Boundaries Readjustment under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. E-3) with the 2022 redistribution (in force for the April 28, 2025 federal election) increasing total Commons seats from 338 to 343. Each constituency-name change requires Parliamentary legislation. Royal assent and in force during 44-1, alongside dozens of similar name-change PMBs across successive Parliaments.
