Mr. Chairman, with respect, seeing as the clerk referred me to Marleau and Montpetit, one of my favourite nighttime readings to get a good sleep, a royal recommendation would be required, depending on the definition of the green investment bank. It would certainly according to page 711 which says:
An appropriation accompanied by a royal recommendation, though it can be reduced, can neither be increased nor redirected without a new recommendation.
It goes on in paragraph 3 to say:
A royal recommendation not only fixes the allowable charge, but also its objects, purposes, conditions and qualifications. An amendment which either increases the amount of an appropriation, or extends its objects, purposes, conditions and qualifications is inadmissible on the grounds that it infringes on the Crown's financial initiative.
