It does.

The amendment seeks to amend section 38 of CEPA. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 771, “an amendment is inadmissible if it proposes to amend a statute that is not before the committee or a section of the parent Act, unless the latter is specifically amended by a clause of the bill.”

Since section 38 of CEPA is not being amended by Bill S-5, it is therefore my opinion that the amendment is inadmissible.

Now we are at NDP-11.

Ms. Collins, would you like to move the amendment?
