What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Senate Public Bill S-241 proposes amendments to both the Criminal Code and the Indian Act. The bill was introduced in the Senate in November 2025 and passed second reading in March 2026. It is currently under consideration by a Senate committee, which is also conducting a pre-study of its provisions. The specific nature of the amendments will be examined further during the committee review process.
Passage outlook
Contested because it's a Senate public bill (which rarely passes), 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.
A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
