Standing Order 130 and Electors Notice

Summary#

This Canada Gazette page (Part I, Vol. 159, No. 29, July 19, 2025) lists short House of Commons notices. It records the publication of Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) — first published May 24, 2025 — and a notice under the Canada Elections Act about the determination of the number of electors, published as Extra Vol. 159, No. 14 on July 15, 2025.

What it does#

• Confirms that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices for intended private-bill applications) was published in the Gazette on May 24, 2025, and gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office.
• Notes that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a notice under the Canada Elections Act about the determination of the number of electors; that notice appears as Extra Vol. 159, No. 14 on July 15, 2025.
• Names Eric Janse as Clerk of the House of Commons in the notice text.

Who's affected#

• People or groups planning to apply for a private bill, and Members of Parliament or staff who handle those applications.
• Election administrators and officials at Elections Canada, and potentially voters, because the other notice concerns the count of electors.
• The original Gazette entries are brief; the notices themselves would have the details, but those details are not included on this page.

Why it matters#

• It keeps the public record current: anyone tracking private-bill procedures or election administration can see that these formal notices were published.
• For people planning private-bill applications, the Standing Order 130 notice points to who to contact and when procedural notices were made public.
• For electoral matters, a published determination of the number of electors affects planning and transparency for elections, but this Gazette entry does not give the substance of that determination.
