What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-236 is a Private Member's Bill that seeks to amend the Criminal Code, the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, and the Prisons and Reformatories Act, with the stated aim of addressing the continuing victimization of families of homicide victims. The bill passed second reading in the House of Commons and is currently under study by a House committee. Its short title suggests the amendments are intended to provide greater protections or considerations for homicide victims' families within the criminal justice and corrections systems.
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.
Unlikely to pass because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes) and it's at committee.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 20–35% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 32%). 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, 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.
