Hello. Just for the record (I realize now it could have been unclear), my edit summary for reverting your edits on [[Arnold Chan]] was to show that the Parliament of Canada technically considers MPs to start their term on the day they are elected. The file for [[Yvonne Jones]] is what this was meant to represent. Another, more notable, case of this is [[John Dahmer]], who died just five days after first being elected, before he could take the official oath, yet is still considered an MP.

:Then how do you account for the fact that although Jones was elected on May 13, 2013, she did not assume office until June 4, 2013? Perhaps because [http://www.parl.gc.ca/parlinfo/compilations/houseofcommons/Sittings.aspx at the time of her election Parliament was in recess]? In Dahmer's case, this can easily be explained by the fact that his was an exceptional case (i.e. death). Do you have a source that actually confirms your assertion? -- [[Special:Contributions/24.212.139.102|24.212.139.102]] ([[User talk:24.212.139.102#top|talk]]) 20:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC) |
