Standing Order 130 — private-bill notices

Summary#

This is a short House of Commons notice saying that Standing Order 130 (rules about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published in the Canada Gazette on May 24, 2025. It gives a contact for more information and is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.

What it does#

• Announces that Standing Order 130 — which covers how notices for private-bill applications are handled — was published in the Canada Gazette on May 24, 2025.
• Lists contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; phone 613‑992‑9511) for anyone who needs more information.
• Shows the notice was filed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• People or groups thinking about applying for a private bill (often individuals, organizations, or businesses that need a law affecting only them).
• Members of Parliament and their staff who handle private members’ business.
• The Private Members’ Business Office, since it is listed as the contact point.

Why it matters#

• This is mainly an administrative update that tells interested parties where the formal rule (Standing Order 130) was published and who to contact.
• If you plan to seek a private bill, this points you to the rule you should read and to the office that can explain next steps.
• The notice itself does not, by itself, change policy — it records publication and provides a contact.
