Notices for Private-Bill Applications

Summary#

This is a short notice from the House of Commons published in the Canada Gazette, Part I on January 3, 2026. It says that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was previously published on May 24, 2025, and gives a contact for more information.

What it does#

• Confirms the publication of Standing Order 130, which deals with how notices are given for intended private-bill applications.
• Points readers to the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons for further information. The notice lists the office address (West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6) and a phone number: 613‑992‑9511.
• Is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and their staff who handle private bills.
• People or organizations planning to seek a private bill (and their advisers).
• The general public is unlikely to notice any direct change unless they are involved with a private-bill application.

Why it matters#

• Rules about how to give notice for private bills determine the practical steps needed to start that process. That matters to anyone preparing a private-bill application.
• Otherwise, this is a routine administrative notice confirming where the standing order was published and who to contact for details.
