Search plain-English summaries of Canadian federal and provincial bills. See what each bill changes, who it affects, current status, timelines, votes, sponsors, and official sources.
Federal mode uses synchronized official Parliament of Canada sessions and highlights MP sponsorships or recorded votes when those official sources publish them.
Bill origins
Federal bills can start in either the House of Commons or the Senate. C- bills originated in the House; S- bills originated in the Senate. Money bills must originate in the House.
Sponsors and sessions
A sponsor helps handle a bill in a chamber, so a Senate sponsor does not always mean the bill started in the Senate. A session is a subdivision of a Parliament.
When a session ends
Prorogation ends a session without an election; dissolution ends Parliament and triggers an election. Pending bills often die, though some House private members' bills can continue after prorogation.
This note is general context. Bill cards still use the official source status and session data available in the current snapshot.
