You might not be surprised that, since it's similar to one earlier on, I find this to be outside of the scope and inadmissible.
Bill C-19 amends the Canada Elections Act. This amendment seeks to add that the Chief Electoral Officer must obtain agreement of the registered political parties represented in the House of Commons for any modification he wishes to make under proposed subsection 582(1). Since the Chief Electoral Officer is independent from political parties, the amendment is a new concept that goes beyond the scope of the bill.
That is my ruling.
Are we okay with moving forward? Thank you. I appreciate that.
We're now on CPC-12.
