Private Bill Notice Rules (Standing Order 130)

Summary#

This notice, published in the Canada Gazette on September 28, 2024, records that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published earlier, on November 20, 2021. It points readers to the House of Commons office to get more information.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills appears in the public record.
• Gives a contact for questions: Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; phone 613‑992‑9511).
• Names Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons, as the official signing the notice.

Who's affected#

• People or groups planning to apply for a private bill in the House of Commons. That can include individuals, companies, municipalities, non‑profits, or Members of Parliament sponsoring such bills.
• If it is unclear exactly who needs this information for a particular case, the notice directs those people to the Private Members’ Business Office for clarification.

Why it matters#

• If you want to introduce a private bill, Standing Order 130 explains the notice steps you must follow. This Gazette entry tells you where to find that rule and who to contact for help.
• This is a routine administrative notice. It does not itself change policy or create new requirements; it records and directs people to an existing House of Commons rule.
