Thank you, Mr. Ste-Marie.
The ruling from the chair is that Bill C-19 enacts the select luxury items tax act. Amendment BQ-8 seeks to modify the price threshold of $100,000 in the case of a subject aircraft, so that it would be set by regulation. House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 772 that “An amendment is also inadmissible if it exceeds the scope of the ways and means motion on which a bill is based, or if it imposes a new charge on the people that is not preceded by the adoption of a ways and means motion....”
In the opinion of the chair, the amendment could oblige certain entities to bear an additional charge; therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
