The Preserving Provincial Representation in the House of Commons Act (French: Loi sur le maintien de la représentation des provinces à la Chambre des communes), also referred to as Bill C-14, is an act of the Parliament of Canada that was passed by the 44th Canadian Parliament in 2022. It made a section 44 amendment to the Constitution of Canada to guarantee that the province of Quebec would not lose a seat in the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution.[9] The Bill was introduced as Bill C-14 with the long title An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (electoral representation).[10]
Should an Act be silent as to its commencement date, the default rule is that the Act comes into force on the day it received Royal Assent.
