Thank you.
I don't see any other hands up.
I would ask the clerk to do a roll call vote on PV‑15.
(Amendment negatived: nays 10; yeas 1)
We'll go to PV-16.
On this one, I have a ruling. My ruling is that the amendment is inadmissible. I will now take the opportunity to explain why.
Bill C‑12 requires that national targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada be set with the objective of attaining net-zero emissions by 2050. Amendment PV‑16 seeks to establish a carbon budget measure that is not foreseen in the bill. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 770, “An amendment to a bill that was referred to a committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill.” In my opinion, PV‑16 introduces a new concept that is beyond the scope of the bill.
This is just a clarification—
