Thank you very much, Mr. Morrice. Unfortunately, as you alluded to, I do need to make a ruling on this. The rules are what they are.
The amendment attempts to alter the conditions of an existing charge in order to extend them. As 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.
Therefore, unfortunately, in the opinion of the chair, the amendment would impose a new charge on the public treasury, and I rule the amendment inadmissible.
(On clause 32)
That takes us to clause 32 and NDP-74.
Again I mention that I'll have something to say about this one, but I'll hand the floor over to Ms. Idlout to speak to NDP-74.
