Standing Order 130 Published

Summary#

On December 5, 2020, the House of Commons published a short notice saying that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) had been published earlier in the Canada Gazette on September 19, 2020. The notice also gives contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office if anyone needs more information.

What it does#

• States that Standing Order 130 (rules on notices for intended private-bill applications) was published in the Canada Gazette on September 19, 2020.
• Lists contact information for the Private Members’ Business Office and gives a phone number (613‑992‑9511) for further enquiries.

Who's affected#

• People or organizations preparing or sponsoring private bills in Parliament.
• Members of Parliament and their staff who handle private-bill matters.
• Anyone watching or tracking the private-bill process.
• If it’s unclear who else is affected, the notice itself is mainly an administrative update rather than a rule change.

Why it matters#

• It tells interested parties where the standing order was published and where to get help.
• For private-bill sponsors and parliamentary staff, the notice points to the official text and a contact to answer questions.
• Otherwise, this is a routine parliamentary notice with no obvious immediate impact on the general public.
