Thank you, Mr. Plamondon.
As the chair, I have a ruling on this amendment.
Bill C-60 amends the Income Tax Act to phase out a tax deduction for credit unions. This amendment proposes to revert back to the original wording of the act, thus allowing the tax deduction to remain in place. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, second edition, states, on page 766:
An amendment to a bill that was referred to a 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 deletion of a key element is contrary to the principle of Bill C-60 and is therefore inadmissible. Therefore, this amendment is inadmissible.
Thank you.
We have Ms. May, who has her first amendment.
Ms. May, very briefly for one minute, please.
