What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-21 is a House Government Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament to give legal effect to the Red River Métis Self-Government Recognition and Implementation Treaty. It would also make consequential amendments to other federal Acts as needed to implement the treaty. The bill passed first reading on February 12, 2026, and is currently at second reading in the House of Commons as of April 22, 2026.
Passage outlook
Likely to pass because it's a government bill, the government holds a majority.
Historically 60–75% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 79%, n=266). Momentum has slowed, so that historical rate likely overstates its current odds.
A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
