What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-1 is a House Government Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament, 1st Session, concerning the administration of oaths of office. It serves as a pro forma bill, a traditional procedural measure used at the opening of a new Parliament to assert the House of Commons' independence from the Crown. As of May 27, 2025, the bill has received first reading only and is not intended to advance further through the legislative process.
Chances of passing
Worked out from the bill's type, its stage and the government's verified standing; for a federal bill, its passage range sets the band. It is not a guarantee.
Unlikely to pass because it has stalled far longer than bills that passed.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 25–30% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 77%). It has gone quiet at this stage, so the adjusted range sits entirely below the historical rate.
