Standing Order 130 Notice — Private Bills

Summary#

This notice records that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was referenced in the Canada Gazette, Part I on April 17, 2021, and that the standing order itself was published earlier on September 19, 2020. It gives a contact at the Private Members' Business Office (House of Commons) for anyone who needs more information.

Why it matters#
