Standing Order 130 — Private‑Bill Notices

Summary#

This notice points readers to the publication of Standing Order 130 on notices of intended applications for private bills. It says that the order was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I on November 20, 2021 and gives a contact (the Private Members’ Business Office) for more information.

What it does#

• Reminds the public that Standing Order 130 about notices for intended private-bill applications was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.
• Provides a contact for questions: the Private Members’ Business Office, West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6; phone 613‑992‑9511.
• Is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons (formal notice; no new rule text is included in this item).

Who's affected#

• People or organizations thinking of asking Parliament to pass a private bill (for example, individuals, companies, or local governments seeking a special legislative change).
• Members of Parliament and House of Commons staff who handle private-bill procedures.
• The broader public only indirectly, since private bills typically affect specific applicants rather than the general population.

Why it matters#

This is a routine administrative notice that points applicants and MPs to the official standing order and to whom to contact for details. If you plan to pursue a private bill, this tells you where the rules were published and who to ask for help.
