Dates in office

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

He is listed as in office from May 30, 2011 to October 19, 2015. The end date corresponds to the date of the election in which he was defeated; the beginning date definitely does NOT refer to the date of the 2011 election - that was May 2, 2011. Why the inconsistency? Presumably, the May 30, 2011 date corresponds to the date he was sworn in as an MP. Theoretically, he ceased to be an MP, along with all the rest of the House of Commons, as soon as Parliament was dissolved on August 4, 2015. (See, for example, http://www.parl.gc.ca/content/lop/researchpublications/prb0812-e.htm#dissolution1 for supporting research on this topic.) Members of the cabinet such as the Prime Minister continue to serve in their functions until a replacement has been sworn in, even though they've ceased to be MPs during the course of the election, but something like that wouldn't apply to an opposition or back-bench member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.2.222 (talk) 14:28, 21 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
