What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill C-287, the Housing Cost Transparency Act, is a Private Member's Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament that would amend the National Research Council Act. The bill received first reading on June 17, 2026, and currently sits outside the Order of Precedence, meaning it has not yet been scheduled for further debate. Based on its short title, the bill appears aimed at improving transparency around housing costs, likely through research or reporting functions tied to the National Research Council.
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.
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, 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.
