Liberal

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

(Preamble as amended agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We will move now to the short title.

CPC-105 is inadmissible.

The amendment seeks to make an amendment to the short title. The House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 775:

Titles, whether it be the long, short or alternative title, may be amended only if the bill has been so altered as to necessitate such an amendment.

No amendment has been made to the bill that would necessitate a change to the short title. Therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
