What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-281 is a Private Member's Bill introduced in the House of Commons during the 45th Parliament that would amend both the Textile Labelling Act and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act. The bill received first reading on June 3, 2026, and currently sits outside the Order of Precedence, meaning it has not yet been scheduled for further debate. The specific amendments proposed are not detailed in the available metadata.
Passage outlook
Unlikely to pass because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes), it's outside the order of precedence.
Historically 0–5% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 4%).
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.
