Thank you.
Now I will give my ruling on this. There is a ruling from the chair.
The amendment seeks to amend section 78 of the Competition Act. House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 771, “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.”
Since section 78 of the Competition Act is not being amended by Bill C-56, it is therefore the opinion of the chair that the amendment is inadmissible.
