This enactment provides that a member's seat in the House of
Commons will be vacated, thus precipitating the calling of a by-elec
tion, if the member, having been elected to the House as a member of
a political party or as an independent, changes parties in the House or
becomes a member of a party in the House, as the case may be, at any
time during the term for which he or she was elected. A member's seat
will not be vacated, if the member, having been elected as a member of
a political party, chooses to sit as an independent at any time during the
term for which he or she was elected.
