Thank you very much.
I appreciate your not going on too terribly long.
In spite of that, amendment CPC-7 seeks to amend section 4 and paragraph 14(5)(b) of the Business Development Bank of Canada Act. As House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 771, “an amendment is inadmissible if it proposes to amend a statute that is not before the committee or a section of the parent Act, unless the latter is specifically amended by a clause of the bill.”
Since section 4 and paragraph 14(5)(b) of the Business Development Bank of Canada Act are not being amended by Bill C-57, it is therefore my opinion that the amendment is inadmissible.
