What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-275 is a Private Member's Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament that seeks to amend the Criminal Code with respect to sexual assault material. The bill received first reading in the House of Commons on April 28, 2026, and currently sits outside the Order of Precedence, meaning it has not yet been scheduled for further debate. No additional details about specific provisions are available from the bill's title alone.
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 outside the order of precedence.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 0–5% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 4%). 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.
