Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The statement that a bill must be brought before the House of Commons three times and then it will become law if passed is not accurate. In reality, a bill must go through several stages in both the House of Commons and the Senate, including multiple readings and committee reviews, before it can become law. The process is more complex than simply being brought before the House of Commons three times.
