What is Step 1 in the legislative process of making a bill a law in Canada?

First Reading - bill is considered read and is printed
Second Reading - members debate the bill's principle
Committee Stage - committee studies the bill clause by clause
Royal Assent - bill receives royal assent

The correct answer is: First Reading - bill is considered read and is printed

In the words of the"Library of Parliament", "First Reading is the formal introduction of a bill into the legislative process. In the Senate, the sponsor of the bill, usually a senator, asks that the bill be read for the first time." Essentially, Step 1 is when the bill is introduced and starts its journey through the legislative process. The other options are incorrect because - Second Reading is the step where the bill's main principles are debated and discussed. - Committee Stage is when the bill is reviewed and studied in detail by a special committee. - Royal Assent is the final step in the legislative process, where the bill receives approval from the Governor General or the monarch.
