Thank you, Ms. Idlout.
Unfortunately, I do need to make a similar ruling in this case, because the amendment attempts to create an obligation for financing that does not currently exist in the bill. Again, House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 772:
Since an amendment may not infringe upon the financial initiative of the Crown, it is inadmissible if it imposes a charge on the public treasury, or if it extends the objects or purposes or relaxes the conditions and qualifications specified in the royal recommendation.
Here again, in the opinion of the chair, the amendment proposes a new scheme that imposes a charge on the public treasury. Therefore, I rule the amendment inadmissible.
That takes us to NDP-71. Again, I will have something to say about this amendment, should it be moved.
I'll open the floor up to Ms. Idlout, should she wish to move it.
