Private Bill Notices — Standing Order 130

Summary#

This is a short parliamentary notice in the House of Commons section of the Canada Gazette, Part I published on January 21, 2023. It says that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published earlier on November 20, 2021, and gives a contact for more information.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 respecting notices of intended applications for private bills was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I on November 20, 2021.
• Lists a contact point for questions: the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons — West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, phone 613‑992‑9511.
• Signs the short notice with the Clerk of the House of Commons.
  This is an informational, administrative item rather than a new policy announcement.

Who's affected#

• People or organizations thinking of applying for a private bill to Parliament.
• Members of Parliament and staff who handle private members’ business.
• The broader public is unlikely to be directly affected; the item simply points to existing rules and where to get details.

Why it matters#

• If you plan to seek a private bill, this tells you which rule governs notices (Standing Order 130) and where to get help.
• It makes it easier to find the correct office and contact if you need to file or learn about private-bill procedures.
• Otherwise, it is a routine administrative notice with no broad policy change.
