Thank you, Mr. Bachand.
I must advise you that, in the Chair's opinion, clause 13 is out of order because it goes beyond the scope and the principle of the bill. I am relying here in rendering my decision on the second edition of the House of Commons Procedure and Practice.
Indeed, it states on page 766 that: "An amendment to a bill that was referred to committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill." I believe that this is the case with amendments BQ-13 and BQ-13.1.
Mr. Bachand, you have the floor.
