Notices for Private Bills (Standing Order 130)

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice repeats that Standing Order 130 of the House of Commons, about notices for intended applications for private bills, was published in the Gazette on November 20, 2021. It gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office and is signed by Charles Robert; the Gazette entry is dated December 21, 2024.

What it does#

• Reminds readers that Standing Order 130 (notices of intended applications for private bills) was published in the Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Lists how to get more information: contact the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; phone 613‑992‑9511).
• Identifies Charles Robert, Clerk of the House of Commons, as the official on the notice.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament who want to introduce or support a private bill.
• Individuals, community groups, businesses, or other organizations considering applying for a private bill.
• Parliamentary staff who handle notices and private bill procedures.
• If that sounds vague: the notice is administrative and does not itself change who can apply or the rules — it points people to the standing order and where to get more details.

Why it matters#

• If you are thinking about asking Parliament for a private law (a private bill), this tells you which standing order governs notices and where to get help.
• For most people the item is routine: it doesn’t change policy or create new obligations. It simply records the standing order’s publication and provides contact information for questions.
