What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-231 is a Private Member's Bill introduced during the 45th Parliament, 1st Session, entitled An Act to amend the Youth Criminal Justice Act. It aims to enact amendments to the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Having advanced through committee consideration and report stage, the bill is currently at third reading in the House of Commons.
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.
Contested because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes) and it has advanced unusually far for its type.
Historically 45–65% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 56%).
If this private member's bill would create new spending, it needs a Royal Recommendation, which only Cabinet can give. Without one, it will almost certainly not pass.
A private member's bill depends on its place in the Order of Precedence, set by a random draw, and bills low on the list often run out of time.
