Thank you. I'm now going to rule on the admissibility of CPC-3.
Bill C-252 amends the Food and Drugs Act to prohibit food and beverage marketing to persons under 13 years of age. CPC-3 proposes to direct the content of advertising, which is not contemplated in the bill. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, 3rd edition, states on page 770, “An amendment to a bill that was referred to Committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the Bill.”
In the opinion of the chair, the amendment introduces a new concept to the bill that goes beyond the scope of the bill; therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
Unless there is a challenge to the chair, that brings us to G-3.
I believe that Mr. van Koeverden was interested in moving that. It is moved.
The debate is now on amendment G-3.
Are there any interventions? Does anyone wish to speak to G-3?
Go ahead, Ms. Goodridge.
