What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-244, also known as the Clean Coasts Act, is a private member's bill that amends the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 and the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act. Introduced in the House of Commons during the 45th Parliament, the bill aims to address environmental protections and regulations concerning vessels. It has completed committee review and is currently at report stage in the House of Commons.
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.
