It would be helpful to hear the amendment read out, but I know we are not allowed to read out the sections we are going to vote on. This is division 8 with respect to clause 242 and the government's second amendment. It has already passed—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
MP Lawrence, there is no discussion. It's yea or nay. It's your turn to vote.
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Next, we have CPC-15, and I do have a chair's ruling.
Bill C-47 amends several acts, including the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act. The amendment seeks to make an amendment to the title of this act. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Third Edition, states on page 775:
Titles, whether it be the long, short or alternative title, may be amended only if the bill has been so altered as to necessitate such an amendment.
In the opinion of the Chair, no amendment has been made to the bill that would necessitate a change to the title of the act. Therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.
If there are amendments...?
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I'm not debating, Mr. Chair. I'm asking for clarification, and a bit of courtesy.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
You made a ruling. It's completely reasonable for me to ask for an interpretation.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
That's debate, and we are not debating.
You can challenge the chair, but it's not debatable, MP Lawrence. It's inadmissible.

Clerk, call the vote.

Shall clause 243 carry?
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I see on my sheet CPC-15 to 21. They're for clause 244.
Are they for upcoming sections? I'm sorry. I must have misread that.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I would like a recorded division.
