What it does
A plain-language summary of the official text, written by AI.
Bill S-5, the Connected Care for Canadians Act, is a Senate Government Bill that aims to promote the interoperability of health information technology and prohibit health IT vendors from engaging in data blocking. The bill has passed all stages in the Senate, including committee study and third reading, and has been transmitted to the House of Commons where it is currently at second reading. If enacted, it would establish a federal framework to ensure health data can flow more freely across digital health systems.
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.
