What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-35, the Ban on Importing Goods Made with Forced Labour Act, is a House Government Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament that would establish a legal prohibition on importing goods into Canada that were produced using forced labour. The bill received first reading in the House of Commons on June 12, 2026, and is currently at the second reading stage. No further legislative details beyond the bill's title and early stage progress are available at this time.
Passage outlook
Likely to pass because it's a government bill, the government holds a majority.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 60–75% (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.
