What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-264 is a Private Member's Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament that seeks to repeal certain existing restrictions on shipping. The bill received first reading in the House of Commons on March 11, 2026, and is currently at the second reading stage as of March 19, 2026. No further legislative steps have been taken at this time.
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 an early stage.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 20–35% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 32%). It has gone quiet at this stage; the adjustment for that delay still leaves the historical rate inside the range.
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.
