Notice: Standing Order 130

Summary#

On July 13, 2024, the Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 158, Number 28 published a short House of Commons notice saying Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was previously published on November 20, 2021. The notice gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office and names Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons, as the official signatory.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices for intended private-bill applications) was published in the Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Lists how to get more information: the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa) and a phone number were provided in the notice.
• Records the administrative point of contact and the clerk who issued the notice: Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and their staff who handle private bills.
• Individuals, organizations or businesses considering asking Parliament for a private bill.
• Parliamentary offices that process private-bill notices.
• If it’s unclear who else is affected, the notice itself is mostly administrative and does not change rights or duties directly.

Why it matters#

• Private bills are the route for specific requests to Parliament (for example, changes to a single organization’s legal status). This notice points people to the standing order and where to get details.
• The item is mainly administrative—useful if you’re planning to apply for a private bill or need the procedural contact at the House of Commons.
