Understanding Bill 9's Status and Context

This specific Bill 9, focused on safeguarding children, is a proposed piece of legislation anticipated for introduction around November 17, 2025. As such, its full text is not yet publicly available through official channels, typically being shared with opposition MLAs and media prior to its official tabling.
