I have a point of order.
This is subject to further comments that may be made with respect to whether Ms. Lattanzio's motion is indeed in order.
I'd like the chair to please consider that, in my view, the proposed amendment by Ms. Lattanzio is not in order in that she disposes with process and privilege of these members to consider clause-by-clause and argue clause-by-clause. Further to the request to suspend, please advise if the motion is in order or out of order.

Andrew Lawton Conservative Elgin—St. Thomas—London South, ON
On the same point of order, I would urge the reconsideration of the point of order. The amendment addresses a bill that's not in the main motion, so it is out of scope as an amendment, given the motion that was put forward.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal James Maloney
I'd like to call this meeting back to order, please.
We were waiting to circulate Ms. Lattanzio's amendment, which has now been done. There was a question as to whether that amendment was acceptable. I ruled that it was.

We have to deal with one item at a time.
Mr. Lawton has challenged my ruling.
Mr. Clerk.
The Clerk of the Committee Jean-François Lafleur
The question is, shall the ruling of the chair be sustained?
(Ruling of the chair sustained: yeas 5; nays 4)

The motion proposed by Ms. Lattanzio addresses a bill that is not referred to in the main motion.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal James Maloney
Just so I'm clear, are you challenging the fact that this motion can be received or not?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal James Maloney
That's already been ruled on. It's been voted on. It's been challenged and voted on.
If you're just arguing the same issue, we're moving on from that.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal James Maloney
It doesn't matter. You're a lawyer, Mr. Baber. I don't know how many times you go into court and a judge rules and says, “Hold on. I have another argument. It might change your mind.” That doesn't apply here either.
Mr. Lawton.
