Standing Order 130 — Private Bill Notices

Summary#

This is a short House of Commons notice saying that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published earlier on November 20, 2021. It points readers to the Private Members’ Business Office for more information, including a phone number.

What it does#

• Reminds the public that Standing Order 130 — the rule on how notices of intended applications for private bills are handled — was published on November 20, 2021.
• Lists the contact for questions as the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6) and gives the phone number 613‑992‑9511.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament who plan to introduce or manage private bills.
• People, groups, or organizations that want Parliament to consider a private bill on their behalf.
• For most Canadians this is routine administrative information and will not have a direct effect.

Why it matters#

• Private bills are the way an individual or group can ask Parliament for a special change or exemption. This notice tells interested parties where to find the relevant rule and whom to contact.
• It is a routine House of Commons administrative update; it does not itself change law or create new rights.
