Thank you, MP Lawrence.
I do have a ruling here, and I should have jumped in right after MP Ste-Marie.
The ruling is that Bill C-69 amends several acts, including the Excise Act, 2001, to add inflationary adjustment clauses. The amendment seeks to add a new category of exempted product to a clause that is not amended by the bill.
As 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 paragraph 134(3)(b) of the Excise Act, 2001, is not being amended by Bill C-69, it is therefore the opinion of the chair that the amendment is inadmissible.
