It received first reading in the House of Commons on October 6, 2025, and is currently at second reading as of March 19, 2026. The specific provisions of the amendments have not been detailed in the available metadata.
Passage outlook
Unlikely to pass because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes), it's at an early stage.
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.
