Standing Order 130 — Private Bills Notice

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry (Part I, published April 22, 2023) is a short parliamentary notice about private bills. It records that Standing Order 130 on notices of intended applications for private bills was published earlier on November 20, 2021, and gives contact details for the office that handles questions.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (the rule about giving notice for intended private-bill applications) was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Lists where to get more information: the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6) and the phone number 613‑992‑9511.
• Shows the notice was issued by Eric Janse, Acting Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament who want to introduce or support a private bill.
• Individuals, groups or organizations thinking of applying for a private bill (they need to know how to give required notice).
• Parliamentary staff and legal advisers who handle private-bill applications.

Why it matters#

• If you plan to seek a private bill, this notice points you to the formal standing order that explains how to give notice and where to get help.
• It’s mainly an administrative reminder and a contact pointer; it does not itself change policy.
