What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-28, the Canadian Space Launch Act, is a House Government Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament. It proposes to amend the Aeronautics Act and other related Acts, with the long title suggesting consequential changes to support a regulatory framework for space launch activities in Canada. The bill received first reading on April 21, 2026, and is currently at second reading in the House of Commons as of April 28, 2026.
Passage outlook
Likely to pass because it's a government bill, the government holds a majority.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 45–50% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 79%). It has gone quiet at this stage, so the adjusted range sits entirely below the historical rate.
A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
