Standing Order 130: Private‑bill Notices

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry (published April 20, 2024) records a routine House of Commons notice about private bills. It points readers to the existing Standing Order 130 (previously published on November 20, 2021) and gives contact details for the office that handles private-bill applications.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 — the rule on notices of intended applications for private bills — was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Provides contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons for anyone seeking more details (office location and phone number are given in the notice).
• Is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.
• Does not announce any new change to the rules in this entry; it is an informational reference.

Who's affected#

• People or groups who want to apply for a private bill (for example, corporations, municipalities, charities, or individuals with a private-bill need).
• Members of Parliament and parliamentary staff who handle private members’ business.
• The general public — only to the extent someone needs information about how private-bill notices are handled.

Why it matters#

• If you are considering asking Parliament for a private bill, this tells you where to find the relevant standing order and who to contact.
• For most people, this is just an administrative note with no immediate policy effect.
• The entry does not describe any new rules or deadlines, so it mainly serves as a pointer to existing procedures.
