Thank you.
I'd like to rule that Bill S-211 enacts the fighting against forced labour and child labour in supply chains act, which imposes on certain private sector entities an obligation to report on the measures they take to prevent and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour is used by them or in their supply chains. Amendment NDP-3 seeks to require additional information to be included in the report, such as information on risks relating to human rights that the entity has identified and the steps it has taken to give priority to and address those risks, which is not envisioned in the bill as adopted by the House at second reading.
As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 770:
An amendment to a bill that was referred to a committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill.
Therefore, in my opinion, it is beyond the scope.
