C-210 — An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (oath of office)

What it does

AI plain-language summary of the official text.

Bill C-210 is a Private Member's Bill introduced in the House of Commons that proposes to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 with respect to the oath of office. It received first reading on June 16, 2025, and currently sits outside the Order of Precedence, meaning it has not yet been scheduled for further debate. No additional details about the specific changes to the oath are available from the bill's metadata alone.

Passage outlook

Unlikely to pass because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes), it's outside the order of precedence.

Historically 0–5% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 4%, n=1067). Momentum has slowed, so that historical rate likely overstates its current odds.

If this private member's bill would create new spending, it needs a Royal Recommendation (Cabinet only) — without one, passage is effectively nil.

A private member's bill's fate hinges on its position in the Order of Precedence (a random draw) — bills low on the list often run out of calendar time.

A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
