No, I have another problem.
Clause 60 of Bill C-10 provides for the institutional head to order an inmate to “be confined in administrative segregation” under certain grounds. The amendments seek to amend the bill to refer to a hearing held by an independent adjudicator who would determine if an inmate is to be confined in administrative segregation.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice, second edition, states at pages 767 and 768:
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.
In the opinion of the chair, the appointment of an independent adjudicator would entail expenses not currently provided for, and would require royal recommendation. Therefore, I rule the amendments inadmissible.
Those are amendments NDP-25, NDP-26, and NDP-27.
