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—
