We'll move to clause 1, the short title. There is an amendment submitted, which is LIB-1. I have a ruling to make on it.
The amendment seeks to make an amendment to the short title. The second edition of House of Commons Procedure and Practice states at page 771: “The title may be amended only if the bill has been so altered as to necessitate such an amendment”.
In the opinion of the chair, no amendment has been made to the bill that would necessitate a change to the short title, and the proposed amendment is therefore inadmissible. That ruling is consistent with previous rulings I've made.
So that particular amendment is out of order. That means we move to a vote on clause 1. Shall the short title carry?
This is a recorded vote.
(Clause 1 negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)
This means the bill is left without a short title.
We'll move to the title itself. Shall the title carry?
(Title agreed to: yeas 8; nays 3)
(Bill S-6 as amended carried: yeas 8; nays 3)
Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House?
