Standing Order 130 — Notices for Private Bills

This is a short House of Commons notice in the Canada Gazette, Part I (published July 16, 2022) saying that Standing Order 130 — the rule about notices for intended applications for private bills — was previously published in the Gazette on November 20, 2021. It gives a contact for more information and is a routine administrative update.
