MP Ste-Marie, I have a ruling on this.
First, Bill C-69 amends several acts. The bill provides for the coming into force of its sections 213 to 221 and 224, related to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada Act:
on a day or days to be fixed by order of the Governor in Council.
The amendment attempts to subject all clauses of the bill that relate to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada Act to the written consent of all the provinces before their coming into force, which is a new concept that goes beyond the scope of the bill as agreed to by the House at second reading.
As the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on pages 773 and 774:
An amendment intended to alter the coming into force clause of a bill, making it conditional, is out of order since it exceeds the scope of the bill....
It attempts to introduce a new question into it.
In the opinion of the chair and for the aforementioned reason, the amendment introduces a new concept that is beyond the scope of this bill; therefore, the amendment is inadmissible.
