Thank you, Mr. Moore.
I will have to rule on CPC-9.
Bill C-7 amends the Criminal Code in relation to MAID. The amendment here, CPC-9, seeks to create a new Criminal Code infraction of coercing someone to request MAID, which would amount to counselling or aiding a person to commit suicide under section 241 of the Criminal Code.
Since Bill C-7 only provides for an easier access to MAID, the amendment goes beyond the scope of the bill. As the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states at page 770:
An amendment to a bill that was referred to a committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill.
Therefore, as stated before, I rule that this amendment is inadmissible, as it goes beyond the scope of this bill.
With that, I will now call the question on clause 1, as we have completed discussion and debate on all of the proposed amendments for clause 1.
