The main objective of Bill C-1 is to govern the administration of oaths of office by officials. It seeks to establish a clear legal framework for how these oaths should be administered, ensuring consistency in the application of rules across various government institutions.

Key provisions include guidelines on the procedures to be followed for administering oaths, the individuals authorized to receive them, and the specific circumstances under which they must be taken. The bill may also provide for exceptions or special cases where the rules can be adapted.

This bill could amend existing laws that already deal with oaths of office, in order to align current practices with the proposed new legislative requirements.

Officials and government entities are primarily affected by this bill, as it directly impacts how oaths of office are administered and recorded in the course of their official duties.
