A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.

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.

Official text

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 has stalled far longer than bills that passed.

Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 5–20% (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.

Stages so far

  1. Second reading, Senate

  2. Senate pre-study, Senate

  3. First reading, Senate
