Standing Order 130 publication notice

Summary#

This is a short parliamentary notice in the Canada Gazette, Part I (published March 14, 2026) saying that Standing Order 130 — about notices of intended applications for private bills — was published earlier on May 24, 2025. It points readers to the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons for more information and is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.

What it does#

• States that Standing Order 130 (notices for intended private-bill applications) was published in the Canada Gazette on May 24, 2025.
• Directs people to contact the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons for further information (office details are listed in the notice).
• Does not announce any new law or change; it is a publication/notification about an existing standing order.

Who's affected#

• People or organizations thinking of applying for a private bill.
• Members of Parliament who handle or sponsor private bills.
• Anyone tracking private legislation or local matters that might need a private bill.
• If it’s unclear who else is affected, the notice itself does not add further details.

Why it matters#

• It tells who to contact and confirms that the parliamentary rule on private-bill notices (Standing Order 130) has been publicly posted.
• For people or groups considering a private bill, this is a procedural step they’ll need to follow or monitor.
• For the general public, the item is routine and administrative — it helps with transparency but does not by itself change laws or policy.
