The Chair Conservative Bob Zimmer

Thank you, Mr. Rankin.

Again, I have a ruling. The amendment seeks to amend a section of the Access to Information Act that is not amended by Bill C-58. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Second Edition, states on pages 766 and 767, “...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.” It is therefore the opinion of the chair that the amendment and consequential amendments NDP-32, 34, and 37 are inadmissible.
