Standing Order 130 Published

Summary#

This is a short House of Commons notice saying that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I. The Gazette issue is dated November 22, 2025, and the standing order was published there on May 24, 2025. For more information the notice lists the Private Members’ Business Office contact details.

What it does#

• Announces that Standing Order 130 (which deals with how notices of intended private-bill applications are handled) was published in the official Gazette.
• Gives a point of contact: the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons, West Block, Room 314-C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, 613‑992‑9511.
• Does not include the text or details of the standing order in this notice, so the specific procedural rules are not shown here.

Who's affected#

• People or groups planning to apply for a private bill in the House of Commons (private bills are usually requested by specific organizations, municipalities or individuals).
• Parliamentary staff, lawyers, or advisers who help prepare private-bill applications.
• It's unclear from this notice alone whether other groups will be affected; the notice only announces the publication, not the contents.

Why it matters#

• If you intend to seek a private bill, this confirms the relevant standing order has been officially published in the Gazette. That can affect how and when you must give formal notice.
• Because the notice does not include the rules themselves, anyone affected will need to consult Standing Order 130 directly or contact the Private Members’ Business Office to learn the exact requirements.
