Okay.
As a result, we're going to discuss amendment CPC‑2, which would create the new clause 24.1.
Since CPC‑2 has been moved, I'd like to inform you of the following ruling, which is based on the advice I received from the clerk's office.
The amendment proposes to amend subsection 40(2) of the Oceans Act.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states the following on page 771:
…an amendment is inadmissible if it proposes to amend a statute that is not before the committee or a section of the parent Act, unless the latter is specifically amended by a clause of the bill.
Since subsection 40(2) of the Oceans Act isn't being amended by Bill C‑12, it's the opinion of the chair that the amendment is inadmissible.
