You've challenged the chair, and we are now going to take the vote. All those in favour of challenging the chair—in other words, that the chair's ruling is wrong—raise your hands.
(Ruling of the chair sustained)
Okay. The ruling stands. Now—

Chair, could I just have it on the record that I expect the NDP to send a nice card saying “thanks for trying”?

Shall clause 22 carry?
(Clause 22 agreed to on division)
Shall clause 23 carry?
(Clause 23 agreed to on division)
(On clause 24)
There's an amendment for clause 24.
Mr. Duvall.

It's the same. This was put in there for needed language in terms of child-rearing and people with disabilities in order to make sure it was included so that people would not be penalized in the future. The language would stay the same as the base, and the people would have the same rights as the base, but this is some language we need to make sure that penalizing does not happen.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
Okay.
My ruling will be the same. I'll not go through the quote from the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, but it's the opinion of the chair that the amendment proposes to increase the value of the said benefit, which could impose an additional charge on the public treasury. Therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
Shall clause 24 carry?

For clauses 25 to 69, are there any clauses in that block that people are going to want to raise questions on or discuss?

Yes. Given that my amendments were ruled out of order, I would like to move the following motion: that the finance committee make a report to the House recommending that the government amend Bill C-26 at report stage in order to include child-rearing and disability drop-out provisions like those present in the existing CPP.
