What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-266, titled the National Framework on Skilled Trades and Labour Mobility Act, is a Private Member’s Bill aimed at establishing a national framework respecting skilled trades and labour mobility. Introduced in the House of Commons in March 2026, the bill passed second reading in September 2026. It is currently under consideration in committee 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.
