I've consulted our legislative clerk, and I'm going to be ruling the amendment out of order, the reason being that Bill C-15 amends the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to provide for minimum penalties for serious drug offences. The amendment would have, as a consequence, that persons possessing for the purpose of trafficking a substance included in schedule II would no longer be guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment.
As House of Commons Procedure and Practice states on page 654: “An amendment to a bill that was referred to committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill”.
In the opinion of the chair, this amendment is a new concept that is beyond the scope of Bill C-15, and it is therefore inadmissible.
