I have it in front of me in French right now.
On page 767 of the 2009 second edition of O'Brien and Bosc's House of Commons Procedure and Practice, we read the following:Financial Initiative of the Crown: 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 short, this amendment infringes upon the financial initiative of the Crown and is, as a result, inadmissible.
We have in front of us....
Yes, Mr. Harris?
