Thank you, Mr. Plamondon.
I have a ruling on this amendment as well.
Bill C-60 would amend the Canadian Securities Regulation Regime Transition Office Act in order to provide for the extension of the transition office until the Governor in Council decides to dissolve it. This amendment proposes to force the Governor in Council to dissolve a transition office no later than July 12, 2013. 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 removal of the ability of the Governor in Council to extend the operation of a transition office would be contrary to the provisions of clause 133 of the bill, and therefore this amendment is inadmissible.
