What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill S-230, the National Strategy for Soil Health Act, is a Senate Public Bill that would require the development of a national strategy for the protection, conservation, and enhancement of soil health in Canada. The bill passed all stages in the Senate, including committee consideration and third reading, and has been transmitted to the House of Commons, where it is currently at second reading. The bill reflects growing recognition of soil health as a priority for environmental and agricultural policy at the federal level.
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 Senate public bill (which rarely passes) and it's at an early stage.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 10–25% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 19%). It has gone quiet at this stage; the adjustment for that delay still leaves the historical rate inside the range.
