What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Senate Public Bill S-233 proposes to amend the Criminal Code to address assault committed against persons who provide health services and first responders. The bill originated in the Senate, where it passed all three readings, and has since been transmitted to the House of Commons, where it received second reading and is currently under consideration in committee. The bill's long title suggests it would create or strengthen Criminal Code provisions specifically targeting violence against this category of workers, though the precise legislative measures are contained in the bill text itself.
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 committee.
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.
