Mr. Chair, can we have a reason for why it's inadmissible? It's unusual for the chair to not give a reason.
1:05 a.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal George Chahal
The reason is the same as provided earlier on with all the amendments. CPC-84 is inadmissible because the amendment seeks to make a substantive modification by adding new elements to the preamble. Since no amendment has been adopted to warrant the addition of these new elements, I declare the amendment inadmissible.

It's not debatable. The chair has been challenged.
(Ruling of the chair sustained: yeas 7; nays 4)
Now we have BQ-26. It could only be moved if BQ-16 were adopted. That did not happen, so I declare the amendment inadmissible.
