Passage outlook

Contested because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes), it's at committee.

Historically 0–5% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 4%, n=1067).

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.
