What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-241, a private member's bill, would establish a national strategy respecting flood and drought forecasting, under the National Strategy on Flood and Drought Forecasting Act. The bill completed report stage in the House of Commons on October 9, 2026, and is now at third reading there.
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.
