The Chair Liberal John Aldag

I would say that this gets into debate. I have made the ruling and it's been sustained.

You're absolutely right that we have a mandate that we're dealing with. In discussion with the clerk, I was advised that this is beyond the scope of the kind of material the committee has dealt with previously, so that is the ruling I made.

We have important legislation before us. I'm not precluding anything in the future. For future motions, I would say it helps to make a very clear connection to the mandate of the committee.

I'm ready to move on to clause 8.1.

I'm calling on whether the NDP wants to move that amendment, 4.2.
