Private-bill notices under Standing Order 130

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry lists short House of Commons notices. It says Standing Order 130 (rules about notices for private-bill applications) was published on May 24, 2025, gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office, and notes that a Canada Elections Act notice about the determination of the number of electors was published as Extra Vol. 160, No. 6 on July 31, 2026.

What it does#

• Confirms that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published on May 24, 2025.
• Provides contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa) and a phone number for inquiries.
• Records that the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published a Canada Elections Act notice on the determination of the number of electors as Extra Vol. 160, No. 6 on July 31, 2026.
• Lists Eric Janse as Clerk of the House of Commons on the notice.

Who's affected#

• Organizations or individuals planning to apply for a private bill (for example, some charities, municipalities, or local bodies).
• Members of Parliament and their staff who handle private members’ business.
• Elections officials, political parties, and researchers who use official elector counts.
• The general public is unlikely to be directly affected by these brief notices, unless they are involved in one of the items above.

Why it matters#

• If you or your organization is thinking about a private bill, the mention of Standing Order 130 and the contact details tell you where to get the official guidance and how to start.
• The note about the Canada Elections Act item confirms that an official count or determination of electors was published, which can matter for election planning, boundaries work, or research. The Gazette entry itself does not give the elector numbers — it only records that that determination was published elsewhere.
