Mr. Chairman, so you're saying that even though under the rules, when a private member's bill comes to a committee, strictly speaking, you're not allowed to amend acts or sections of acts that aren't referred to in the original private member's bill brought forward.... In other words, in this case, the bill amends certain sections of CEPA; it doesn't amend the other acts. And therefore, strictly speaking, it wouldn't be able to do that.
My question is, if we were all to agree to amend the Food and Drugs Act and the Hazardous Products Act here, and this goes back to the House, can one party then object to it and say to the Speaker that it shouldn't go forward because of this? And would the Speaker then be likely to rule that the bill is out of order because the committee exceeded its authority? That's the question.
