The Chair Conservative Bob Zimmer

Thank you, Mr. Rankin.

Once again, for the same reason.... Do you want me to repeat the reason why not every time? Anyway, I'll say it again.

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 is inadmissible.
