Standing Order 130 Publication

Summary#

What it does#

• Announces that Standing Order 130 — the rule on notices for intended private-bill applications — was published in the Canada Gazette on May 24, 2025.
• Lists the office to contact for questions: the Private Members’ Business Office, West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, 613‑992‑9511.
• Is a short administrative notice from Eric Janse, the Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and their staff who deal with private bills.
• Individuals or organizations thinking of seeking a private bill (they would use the office listed for guidance).
• Everyone else is unlikely to notice any direct change from this brief notice.

Why it matters#

• It confirms that a parliamentary rule about how private-bill notices are handled has been published and is available to consult.
• It tells potential applicants where to get official information and help.
• Otherwise, this is a routine procedural announcement and does not by itself change law or policy.
