Bill C-228 aims to amend the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act to establish a mechanism for prior parliamentary review of international treaties. This measure seeks to increase transparency and accountability in Canada's treaty ratification process.

Key provisions of the bill would require all treaties to undergo parliamentary review before ratification. This would include a period for debate and consultation, allowing parliamentarians to examine the implications of proposed treaties.

The amended law would be the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act, which currently governs the department's operations in foreign policy and international trade.

The main stakeholders affected by this legislative change would include Members of Parliament, officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs, and stakeholders involved in the negotiation and implementation of international treaties.
