Thank you, Mrs. Thomas.
Seeking to amend the Department of Canadian Heritage Act to maintain the court challenges program and appoint the members of the board overseeing the program would result in payments out of the public treasury and would require a royal recommendation. That's because House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 772:
Since an amendment may not infringe upon the financial initiative of the Crown, it is inadmissible if it imposes a charge on the public treasury, or if it extends the objects or purposes or relaxes the conditions and qualifications specified in the royal recommendation.
I'm ruling that subamendment inadmissible.
