This bill amends the Criminal Code to strengthen criminal penalties for violence against intimate partners, including creating a new first-degree murder charge for killings tied to coercive or controlling behaviour, increasing sentences for intimate partner manslaughter, creating new offences for violence against intimate partners, and extending the period police can hold seized items from 90 to 180 days.

This bill amends the Food and Drugs Act to exclude natural health products from the definition of 'therapeutic product,' thereby removing them from the stricter drug-like monitoring and compliance regime that was imposed through the 2023 federal budget.

This bill strengthens Canada's sanctions regime by expanding the grounds for sanctioning foreign nationals to include transnational repression and activities undermining international peace and security, increases penalties for violations, requires parliamentary tabling of sanction orders, and renames the Special Economic Measures Act.

This bill creates an independent Office of the Ombud for the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, tasked with investigating complaints of unfairness, bias, racism, and discrimination in immigration and citizenship decision-making, and making recommendations to the Minister.

This bill creates a deeming provision so that individuals already approved for a provincial disability tax credit, pension, or benefit are automatically deemed eligible for the corresponding federal disability tax credit (under the Income Tax Act) and federal disability pension (under the Canada Pension Plan), eliminating the need to apply twice for the same impairment.

This bill amends the Canada Pension Plan to require that at least two-thirds of provinces (representing at least two-thirds of the population) that participate in CPP must consent before any province can withdraw from CPP and establish its own comprehensive pension plan.

This bill requires the Minister of Health to develop a national strategy on brain injury awareness, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery, in consultation with provinces, Indigenous groups, and stakeholders, and to report to Parliament on its progress.

This bill increases the federal tax credit for volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers from $3,000 (based on a $6,000 amount multiplied by the lowest tax rate) to $5,000 (based on a $10,000 amount), and broadens the definition of eligible volunteer firefighting services to include being available or on call for firefighting, emergency services, and non-emergency duties.

This bill amends the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act to legally prohibit the Minister of Foreign Affairs from making international trade commitments that would increase tariff rate quotas or reduce over-quota tariffs on supply-managed goods (dairy products, poultry, and eggs).

This bill amends the Canada Health Act to include mental health, addictions, and substance use health services — including those provided in community settings — as insured health services, putting them on the same footing as hospital and physician services under Canada's public health insurance framework.

This bill creates a new Crown corporation called the Canadian Corporation for Defence Investment (also operating as the Defence Investment Agency) to handle production, procurement, and investment for national defence, and significantly expands and modernizes the Defence Production Act (renamed the Defence and National Security Production and Procurement Act) to cover national security broadly, including new procurement rules, financial authorities, and stockpiling powers.
