Standing Order 130 and Elector Determination

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry (Part I, House of Commons) records two parliamentary notices published around mid‑July 2025. It notes the prior publication of Standing Order 130 about intended applications for private bills and a published Determination of number of electors from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer. The Gazette issue date is July 19, 2025.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published earlier, on May 24, 2025.
• Gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, phone 613‑992‑9511) for more information about private bills.
• Records that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a Determination of number of electors as Extra Vol. 159, No. 14 on July 15, 2025.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament, their staff, and individuals or organizations thinking of applying for a private bill.
• People and groups who follow electoral administration, since the Determination of number of electors is an official electoral count document.
• The entry is largely administrative; if the source is unclear about downstream effects, the practical impact beyond these groups is not stated.

Why it matters#

• If you plan to seek a private bill, the notice points to the relevant standing order and where to get details or start the process.
• The published determination about electors is part of how elections and electoral planning are tracked and managed; updates can matter to political parties, candidates and election officials.
• Overall, this is a procedural update from Parliament and Elections Canada rather than a new policy announced in detail.
