Standing Order 130: Private Bills Notice

Summary#

This is a brief House of Commons notice in the Canada Gazette (Part I) from August 13, 2022. It says that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published earlier on November 20, 2021, and gives a contact for more information.

What it does#

• Confirms that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Lists where to get more information: the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6) and a phone number: 613‑992‑9511.
• Is a short administrative notice; it does not itself change rules or set new legal requirements.

Who's affected#

• People or groups who want Parliament to consider a private bill (for example, individuals, organizations, or companies seeking a special Act).
• Members of Parliament who handle or sponsor private bills.
• It is unclear from the notice whether anyone beyond these groups is directly affected.

Why it matters#

• If you are preparing a private bill or advising someone who is, this notice points you to the official standing order and to the office that handles private‑bill procedures.
• It’s mainly an administrative reminder—useful for planning and for meeting any notice requirements, but not a policy change.
