Very well, Mr. Godin.
I remember what you said to me earlier about an amendment proposed by the Bloc Québécois.
Bill C‑13 amends the Official Languages Act by establishing an administrative monetary penalty regime that may apply to a designated organization, which is defined as a Crown corporation or a corporation subject to the Official Languages Act pursuant to another Act of Parliament.
CPC‑46 is an amendment to expand the definition of “designated body” to include federal institutions.
The third edition of the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, on page 770, states that:
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.
The chair believes that expanding the definition of “designated body” to include federal institutions is beyond the scope of the bill as passed on second reading by the House.
Therefore, I rule this amendment out of order.
You have the right to challenge the ruling of the chair, Mr. Godin.
