Bills in Canada are created by the Parliament of Canada, which consists of the Queen (represented by the Governor General), the Senate (an appointed chamber), and the House of Commons (an elected chamber). Bills must be passed by both the Senate and the House of Commons, before being presented to the Governor General for Royal Assent. Once a bill has been passed by both Houses and has received Royal Assent, it becomes law.

The process in both the Senate and the House of Commons is similar. In the case of both chambers, bills are introduced with first reading (i.e., they are introduced and distributed to members of the chamber). The broad principles of the proposed law are then debated with second reading. Bills are then referred to a committee, which then reports back to the chamber with suggestions. Once a bill has been approved at third reading (where technical issues with the bill are debated), it moves on to the other House for the same process.

1. Passage through the first House (sometimes the Senate, usually the House of Commons)

The process in each Chamber is similar:

* First reading (the bill proposing a law is received, printed and circulated)

* Second reading (the principle of the bill is debated: is the bill good policy?)

* Committee stage

Step one: members of the public appear as witnesses before a committee*

Step two: committee members study the bill, clause by clause

Step three: the committee adopts a report on the bill, recommending that it be accepted as is, or with amendments, or that it not be proceeded with further

* Report stage (motions to amend specific clauses of the bill are considered by the whole House)

* Third reading (final approval of the bill)

2. Passage through the second House

3. Royal Assent by the Governor General makes the bill law
