That brings us to the short title.
CPC-41 is the first amendment of the short title. This amendment seeks to make an amendment to the short title. As a House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on line 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 short title; therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
That brings us to CPC-42. CPC-42 seeks to amend clause 1, the short title, by adding content that appears to relate to another clause. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 772, “An amendment is also out of order if it is moved at the wrong place in the bill, if it is tendered in a spirit of mockery, or if it is vague or trifling.”
In the opinion of the chair, the proposed amendment seeks to modify the wrong clause of the bill. I therefore rule the amendment inadmissible.
Shall the short title carry?
