What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-221 is a Private Member's Bill that proposes amendments to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to change how information is disclosed to victims. The bill passed second reading in the House of Commons in February 2026 and is currently under study by a House committee. The bill's specific provisions are not available from this metadata alone.
Passage outlook
Contested because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes), it's at committee.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 0–5% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 4%). It has gone quiet at this stage; the adjustment for that delay still leaves the historical rate inside the range.
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.
