What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-241, a Private Member's Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament, proposes the establishment of a national strategy for flood and drought forecasting in Canada. The bill aims to improve the country's capacity to predict and respond to these natural hazards. It has passed second reading and committee consideration, and is currently at report stage in the House of Commons.
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.
