Notice: Standing Order 130 on Private Bills

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice (Part I) from September 16, 2023 records a House of Commons item about private bills. It points readers to Standing Order 130 on notices of intended applications for private bills and gives contact details for the office that handles them.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published earlier on November 20, 2021.
• Lists contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office for anyone who needs more information or help.
• Names Eric Janse as the Acting Clerk of the House of Commons on the notice.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and their staff who plan to bring or sponsor private bills.
• People or groups preparing to apply for a private bill or seeking information about the notice requirements.
• The broader public only indirectly — this is mainly an internal parliamentary/administrative reference.

Why it matters#

• It tells affected people where to find the rule about giving notice for private bills and who to contact for details.
• This is a routine administrative publication. It does not itself change policy or create new legal rules; it points to an existing standing order and provides contact information.
