Thank you, Mr. Thériault.
I do have a ruling on this. Bill C-7 amends the Criminal Code to render medical assistance in dying more accessible to patients requiring it, but it does not address the level or quality of palliative care as is contemplated in this amendment. This is a new concept not envisioned by the bill. House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on 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, I rule this amendment inadmissible, and I will refer to the legislative clerk to explain a bit further for clarity.
