An Act to authorize certain payments to be made out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purpose of improving housing supply

Bill C-26 (45-1) is a federal supply bill authorizing payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund. (Distinct from the 44-1 Bill C-26 cybersecurity statute reintroduced in 45-1 with a different number.) Supply bills implement the Estimates and are confidence votes under the Westminster convention; a government that loses a supply vote falls and the Governor General typically dissolves Parliament for a new election. Canada has had three minority-government supply-bill defeats since Confederation: Diefenbaker 1963, Trudeau 1974, and Harper 2011 (which was technically a non-confidence motion, not a supply bill).
