What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-240, the Offender Rehabilitation Act, is a Private Member's Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament that proposes amendments to the Criminal Code, the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The bill's title suggests a focus on offender rehabilitation, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available metadata. The bill passed second reading in the House of Commons on June 1, 2026, and is currently under consideration by a House committee.
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.
Historically 25–40% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 32%).
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.
