The second one I would have a problem supporting because the words “direct and timely” are already in there. But the first one I agree with, that you can't expand the preamble without a change within the body of the bill.
Can you separate your ruling?

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, despite the back and forth, you've made a ruling. We're not here to debate your ruling. We should move forward.

I'm sorry, I have no choice but to challenge your ruling. It's incorrect.

All right.
I move a motion to sustain my ruling. All in favour of sustaining my ruling? All opposed?

On point of order, if he wanted a recorded vote, wasn't he supposed to ask before the vote?

Okay. Thank you.
It's too late.
All right, that's amendment NDP-2. Now we go to amendment LIB-2. Again, it's inadmissible.

I'm not going to challenge the ruling. I would just like to say for the record why I had added this.
I'm in agreement that it's difficult to make this inclusive of the entire population. I found there were groups of people who are performing many of the same duties, particularly health care providers. A tremendous amount of our workforce is doing much of the same work. There are similar kinds of work in public health and safety which I thought should have been included. However, if the procedure says I can't make that change in the preamble without a corresponding change in the ruling, I understand that. I just thought it was important that it be added to the bill, and hopefully at some time in the future it might be amended.
Thank you.

Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Doherty. This has been an emotional one for us, and I recognize everybody's position. I do.
