What it does

AI plain-language summary of the official text.

Bill C-29, the Financial Crimes Agency Act, is a government bill introduced in the House of Commons that would establish a new federal body called the Financial Crimes Agency. The bill also proposes consequential amendments to other Acts and regulations to align with the new agency's mandate. The bill passed second reading on June 18, 2026, and is currently under review by a House of Commons committee.

Passage outlook

Likely to pass because it's a government bill, it's at committee, the government holds a majority.

Historically 75–85% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 79%, n=266).

A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
