The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

There has been a ruling in terms of whether this motion or new clause is admissible. According to the parent act it is inadmissible. The amendment seeks to amend section 87.4 of the Canada Labour Code. The House of Commons Procedure and Practice states on page 654 that “an amendment is inadmissible if it amends a statute that is not before the committee or a section of the parent Act unless it is being specifically amended by a clause of the bill”. Since section 87.4 of the Canada Labour Code is not being amended by Bill C-257, it is inadmissible to propose such an amendment; therefore, the amendment is inadmissible.

Mr. Silva.
