What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-36 is a House Government Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament that would enact a new Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and make related changes to other legislation. The bill aims to strengthen privacy protections and consumer data rights in Canada. It received first reading in the House of Commons on June 15, 2026, and is currently at second reading stage.
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.
