What it does
AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill C-287, the Housing Cost Transparency Act, is a Private Member's Bill introduced in the 45th Parliament that would amend the National Research Council Act. The bill received first reading on June 17, 2026, and currently sits outside the Order of Precedence, meaning it has not yet been scheduled for further debate. Based on its short title, the bill appears aimed at improving transparency around housing costs, likely through research or reporting functions tied to the National Research Council.
Passage outlook
Unlikely to pass because it's a private member's bill (which rarely passes), it's outside the order of precedence.
Historically 0–5% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 4%, n=1067).
If this private member's bill would create new spending, it needs a Royal Recommendation (Cabinet only) — without one, passage is effectively nil.
A private member's bill's fate hinges on its position in the Order of Precedence (a random draw) — bills low on the list often run out of calendar time.
A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
