Obviously, whatever happens here today, it's not going to be the end of it. It'll be obviously appealed and taken to other levels too.
But when we say here, under Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms, “Amendments to bills are out of order if they attempt to substitute an alternative scheme to that proposed with the Royal Recommendation”.... If Quebec is having a different program or a different approach here, a different scheme--I know we're into legal language, legal limbo, if you will--to me that, on the face of it at least, prima facie appears to be an alternative scheme at that juncture.
The nature of the amendment is to have an alternative scheme, and particularly in this case, that affects only Quebec. I'm wondering if the clerk has taken that into consideration--not the dollar amounts so much as the alternative scheme. It appears to be clearly that, at least on the face of it.
