What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Senate Government Bill S-3 proposes amendments to the Weights and Measures Act, the Electricity and Gas Inspection Act, and their associated regulations. The bill originated in the Senate, where it completed all stages including committee consideration and third reading, before being transmitted to the House of Commons. It is currently at second reading in the House of Commons, where members are debating the bill's principle. The bill's long title indicates it focuses on updating the legislative and regulatory framework governing measurement accuracy and inspection standards for electricity and gas.
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.
Contested because it has stalled far longer than bills that passed.
Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 45–50% (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.
