Standing Order 130 and Election Return Published

Summary#

The House of Commons published a notice about Standing Order 130 (rules on notices of intended applications for private bills). The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer also published the Return of members elected at the 44th general election, with those notices appearing in the Canada Gazette around November 20, 2021 and Tuesday, November 23, 2021. This Canada Gazette issue was published on November 27, 2021.

What it does#

• Announces that Standing Order 130 — the House rule on notices for intended private-bill applications — was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021. It gives a contact for questions: the Private Members’ Business Office, West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa.
• Notes that the Return of members elected at the 44th general election under the Canada Elections Act was published as Extra Vol. 155, No. 9 on Tuesday, November 23, 2021.
• These are informational notices about parliamentary and election paperwork. The Canada Gazette item is reporting their publication; it does not itself change rules or election results.

Who's affected#

• MPs, staff, or organizations planning to seek a private bill or following private-member business.
• People tracking who was elected in the 44th general election, including voters, journalists, and researchers.
• Members of the public who monitor parliamentary procedure or official election returns.

Why it matters#

• It signals where to find formal notices about private-bill applications, which matters if you want to propose or follow such a bill.
• Publishing the return of elected members makes the official list of MPs publicly available and verifiable.
• Both notices are part of routine transparency around how Parliament records procedural steps and election outcomes.
