Standing Order 130 — Private Bill Notices

Summary#

This is a short House of Commons notice published in the Canada Gazette, Part I on August 7, 2021. It says that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published earlier in the Canada Gazette on September 19, 2020, and gives a contact for more information.

What it does#

• Announces that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills has been published in the Canada Gazette (initial publication September 19, 2020).
• Gives a point of contact: the Private Members' Business Office, House of Commons (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; phone 613‑992‑9511).
• Signed by Charles Robert, Clerk of the House of Commons (as shown in the notice).

Who's affected#

• People or groups planning to seek a private bill in the House of Commons — for example, individuals, companies, municipalities, or organizations that need a bill applying only to them.
• Parliamentary staff and members who handle private bills.
• If it is unclear who exactly is affected beyond these groups, the notice points to the contact above for clarification.

Why it matters#

• If you plan to apply for a private bill, this tells you where the rules about giving notice were published and who to contact for details.
• It is a routine procedural notice; it does not itself change policy or create new rights, but it points applicants and parliamentarians to the relevant standing order and contact information.
