For each amendment, yes, there is.
I will read it for this particular amendment.
The definition of “government institution” in the Access to Information Act is not modified by Bill C-58. The amendment seeks to expand the definition by relaxing the conditions required for corporations to fall under the act. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Second Edition, states on page 766, “An amendment to a bill that was referred to committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill.”
In the opinion of the chair, the scope of the bill is limited by the current definition of “government institution”. I therefore rule the amendment inadmissible.
Mr. Rankin.
