Thank you, Madame Bérubé.
Your motion is inadmissible since it has not been made necessary by a previous amendment to the bill. The amendment seeks to make a substantive modification by adding new elements to the preamble. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 774:
In the case of a bill that has been referred to a committee after second reading, a substantive amendment to the preamble is admissible only if it is rendered necessary by amendments made to the bill. In addition, an amendment to the preamble is in order when its purpose is to clarify it or to ensure the uniformity of the English and French versions.
In the opinion of the chair, the proposed amendment is substantive. Therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
Do you accept my ruling?
