The Gazette entry itself appears in Part I on July 27, 2024 and gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office for anyone who needs more information.

What it does#

• States that Standing Order 130 (about notices for intended private-bill applications) was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Lists the contact point for questions as the Private Members’ Business Office, West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, phone 613‑992‑9511.
• Names Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons, at the end of the notice.
• Does not include the text of the standing order in this entry; the item simply records the prior publication and gives contact information.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament (MPs) and parliamentary staff who handle private members’ business.
• Legal or policy advisers who assist organizations seeking private legislation.
• If it’s unclear who else is affected, the notice does not spell that out.

Why it matters#

• If you want Parliament to consider a private bill, this points you to the rule that governs notice of intent and to the office that can explain the steps.
• It’s mainly an administrative record, so it won’t change anyone’s rights or services by itself.
• The notice helps people find the right place to ask questions or get the procedural details needed to start a private-bill application.
