Standing Order 130 Notice

Summary#

The Canada Gazette, Part I issue of July 6, 2024 carries a short House of Commons notice saying that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was published earlier on November 20, 2021. The notice gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office for anyone who needs more information.

• Provides contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa) and a phone number (613‑992‑9511) for further inquiries.
• Does not announce a new rule or change; it is a publication/notification about the standing order.

Who's affected#
