Standing Order 130: Notices for Private Bills

Summary#

On June 28, 2025, the Canada Gazette published a House of Commons notice saying that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) had been published earlier, on May 24, 2025. The notice gives a contact for questions: the Private Members’ Business Office, and is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.

What it does#

• Announces that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices of intended applications for private bills) was published in the Canada Gazette on May 24, 2025.
• Points readers to the Private Members’ Business Office for further information (address and phone number are included in the notice).
• Acts as a short administrative update rather than a detailed explanation of the standing order’s contents.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament who handle or introduce private bills.
• Individuals, groups, or organizations considering asking Parliament for a private bill (private bills are requests for laws or exceptions that apply to a specific person or organization).
• Parliamentary staff who process private-bill notices.
• For more information: contact the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons, West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, phone 613‑992‑9511. (Signed by Eric Janse.)

Why it matters#

• This is mainly a routine administrative notice.
• It tells people who want to apply for a private bill where to find the standing order and whom to contact for details.
• The Gazette entry does not explain the rules in Standing Order 130 itself, so anyone who needs to act on or comply with those rules should contact the office named in the notice.
