Standing Order 130 on Private Bills

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice (Part I) records that Standing Order 130 of the House of Commons — about notices for intended applications for private bills — was published in the Canada Gazette on September 19, 2020. The Gazette entry itself is dated May 22, 2021 and gives contact details for questions.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published in Canada Gazette, Part I on September 19, 2020.
• Lists a contact for more information: the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6) and phone 613‑992‑9511.
• Shows the notice was issued under the authority of Charles Robert, Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and people or groups thinking about asking Parliament for a private bill.
• Parliamentary staff who handle private bills, including the Private Members’ Business Office.
• Everyone else — the public at large — is not directly affected; this is an administrative notice about where and when the Standing Order was published.

Why it matters#

• If you want to start or track a private bill, this tells you which Standing Order governs the notices and where to get official information.
• It’s mainly an administrative update, not a policy change. It does not itself change rules or create new rights, but it points to the existing rule and who to contact.
