Notice: Standing Order 130 on Private Bills

Summary#

This Gazette entry (from Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 157, Number 30) records a short notice from the House of Commons about private-bill procedure. It says Standing Order 130 — on notices of intended applications for private bills — was published earlier (on November 20, 2021) and gives a contact for questions.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices for private bills) was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Lists contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; phone 613‑992‑9511).
• Is signed by Eric Janse, Acting Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and their staff who work on or sponsor private bills.
• Individuals, organizations, or companies planning to ask an MP to introduce a private bill.
• Parliamentary officers who handle notices and filings.
• The broader public is unlikely to notice any direct effect unless they are involved with a private-bill application.

Why it matters#

• If you want to start or track a private bill, this tells you which Standing Order applies and where to get more information.
• Otherwise, this is a routine administrative notice confirming publication and contact details; it does not itself change policy.
