I'd like to respond to your ruling and challenge it.
I don't know how many of my amendments are going to have such a ruling, but seeing as we're dealing with the first one, this particular amendment is basically a rationale to remove the schedule II drugs, which is basically marijuana. I actually cannot understand your ruling that this is somehow beyond the scope of the bill. This is within the bill. We're just saying that one of the particular schedules it deals with, in terms of the Controlled Drug and Substances Act, we believe should be removed from the parameters of this bill.
It's not beyond the bill. It's just removing something. It's not trying to go further. We are stating in this amendment that we don't think these provisions in the bill before us should apply to what is in schedule II, which is marijuana. I don't understand how you can say that it's beyond the scope of the bill.
