Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Green's motion is being moved in the context of a study already existing before the committee—that is the context of the study of the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic—and the motion seeks to send for documents. It doesn't seek to actually create another study. It could be argued that Mr. Kusmierczyk's amendment, which is to create a new study, while the subject is limited, goes outside the scope of the original motion. Amendments, to be admissible, must be considered within the context of the motion they seek to amend.
That being said, the chair has rendered his ruling that the amendment is inadmissible. However, nothing prohibits any member from challenging the ruling of the chair, at which point it will be voted on by the committee.
Thank you.
