Thank you, Mr. Sangha.
I'm not seeing any hands. We'll call the question on NDP-11.
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
(Clause 5 as amended agreed to: yeas 6; nays 0)
(Clause 6 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 0)
We will now move on to the preamble and PV-3.
I do have a ruling on PV-3. It is inadmissible, as no amendments to the bill to justify amending the preamble have been adopted. I will reference House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, page 774, which states:
In the case of a bill that has been referred to a committee after second reading, a substantive amendment to the preamble is admissible only if it is rendered necessary by amendments made to the bill. In addition, an amendment to the preamble is in order when its purpose is to clarify it or to ensure the uniformity of the English and French versions.
In my opinion, the proposed amendment is inadmissible.
With that, and having already dealt with G-1, I call the question on the preamble.
Shall the preamble carry?
(Preamble agreed to: yeas 7; nays 0)
