What do these terms mean?
First Reading
The bill is formally introduced in the House or Senate. No debate yet — just a statement of what it does.
Second Reading
The full chamber debates the bill's principles. If it passes a vote, it moves to committee for detailed study.
Committee
A parliamentary committee studies the bill in detail, hears expert witnesses, and may propose amendments.
Third Reading
The chamber votes on the final version of the bill. If it passes, it moves to the other chamber (House or Senate).
Royal Assent
The Governor General formally approves the bill, making it law. Some provisions may still require regulations before they take effect.
Died on Order Paper
The bill did not complete the legislative process before Parliament dissolved or prorogued (took a break). The bill must be reintroduced to continue.
