Bills C-29, C-14 and C-3 Receive Assent

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry records a House of Commons notice about private bills and lists several bills that received royal assent in spring 2021. In particular, it notes that Bill C-29 received assent on April 30, 2021, and Bill C-14 and Bill C-3 received assent on May 6, 2021.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices for intended private-bill applications) was previously published on September 19, 2020, and gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office for more information.
• Records that on April 30, 2021 the Administrator signified royal assent to Bill C-29 (chapter 6, 2021), titled An Act to provide for the resumption and continuation of operations at the Port of Montreal.
• Records that on May 6, 2021 the Administrator signified royal assent to:
  • Bill C-14 (chapter 7, 2021), titled An Act to implement certain provisions of the economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 30, 2020 and other measures, and
  • Bill C-3 (chapter 8, 2021), titled An Act to amend the Judges Act and the Criminal Code.

Who's affected#

• People and businesses that use the Port of Montreal — port operators, shipping lines, importers/exporters and port workers — because of Bill C-29.
• Canadians, firms, and programs touched by measures in the November 30, 2020 economic statement — because Bill C-14 implements some of those measures. The Gazette notice does not list the specific measures.
• Judges, court staff, lawyers, and people involved in criminal cases — because Bill C-3 changes the Judges Act and the Criminal Code.
• Members of Parliament and anyone planning a private bill application — because of the reminder about Standing Order 130 and the Private Members’ Business Office contact.

Why it matters#

• The entry is an official record that these bills officially received royal assent on the listed dates. That is the final formal step recorded here.
• Bill C-29 could matter locally and for supply chains if it affects how the Port of Montreal operates or reopens.
• Bill C-14 may change government spending, taxes, or benefits in ways that affect households and businesses, but this notice does not say which measures were implemented.
• Bill C-3 may change legal or court procedures; people involved in the justice system may see practical effects.
• For most readers, this notice is mainly a formal update. The Gazette entry does not give detailed text or practical details of the laws — you would need to look up each Act for the full effects.
