We will have a recorded vote.
(Clause 7 agreed to: yeas 6; nays 3)
(Clauses 8 and 9 agreed to)
Before we debate LIB-3, which is a new clause, we have a ruling from the chair.
The amendment seeks to create a new reconsideration process for decisions to revoke or to refuse to issue a licence registration certificate or authorization. According to House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Third Edition, page 770, “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.”
In the opinion of the chair, the reconsideration process introduces a new concept that is beyond the scope of the bill. Therefore, I rule it inadmissible.
We have a consequential ruling to LIB-4 as well.
