Well, I have to rule on this before we open debate. There's no debate because of the ruling, but we haven't gotten to the ruling yet, so....
We have a very good legislative clerk. He's way ahead of me.
The amendment seeks to amend sections 22 and 29 of CEPA. Again, “an amendment is inadmissible if it proposes to amend a statue 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 sections 22 and 29 of CEPA are not being amended by Bill S-5, it is therefore my opinion that the amendment is inadmissible.
We go now to clause 7.
