You are moving NDP-43. Okay.
The chair has a ruling, as assisted by our wonderful legislative clerks.
Bill C-38 amends the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Act by creating a new social security tribunal. The tribunal will hear appeals of decisions made under the Employment Insurance Act, the Canada Pension Plan, and the Old Age Security Act. Tribunal members are selected by means of Governor in Council appointments.
The amendment attempts to specify that where an appeal involves a disability benefit, the member of the tribunal must be a person who is qualified to practise medicine or a prescribed related profession in a province.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice, second edition, states, on page 766, and I quote:
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.
Therefore, in the opinion of the chair, the introduction of the criteria of medical competency with regard to tribunal members is a new concept that is beyond the scope of Bill C-38 and is therefore inadmissible.
That deals with NDP-43.
(Clause 224 agreed to on division)
(Clauses 225 to 281 inclusive agreed to on division)
I want to thank our officials for being here for that division.
We will then move to division 7, which deals with clauses 282 to 303, consolidation of privacy codes. I have no amendments for this division.
Does anyone wish to speak to this division?
(Clauses 287 to 303 inclusive agreed to)
We'll then move to division 8, dealing with social insurance number cards.
These are clauses 304 to 314, and we'll start with Ms. Nash, please.
