NDP-18.5 proposes to add a definition of “government institution”, and it's amending section 2 of the Library and Archives of Canada Act.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice states on page 654:
...an amendment is inadmissible if it amends a statute that is not before the committee or a section of a parent Act unless it is specifically being amended by a clause of the bill.
Since section 2 of the Library and Archives of Canada Act is not being amended by Bill C-2, it is inadmissible to propose such an amendment. Therefore, NDP-18.5 is inadmissible.

Well, I ruled it out of order, so you can't even ask for consent.
We'll move to clause 179.2, which is G-45.2, and NDP-18.6. They are consequential to 179.1, which I just ruled out of order, so they're out of order.
We move to clause 180, and we have an amendment on page 144.5-- G-45.3--which is the same as NDP-18.6.1 on page 144.7.
We're on G-45.3, Mr. Dewar.
Mr. Poilievre, go ahead, please.

I move that in Bill C-2, clause 180 be amended by replacing lines 12 and 13 on page 123 with the following:
180. The Act is amended by adding the following after
(Amendment agreed to)
