Thank you, Ms. Rempel Garner.
I would like to inform you of the following ruling.
Bill C‑12 amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The amendment seeks to introduce a new provision under a clause that is not under consideration by the committee.
As stated in the third edition of the House of Commons Procedure and Practice on 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.”
The chair is of the opinion that the introduction of this new provision constitutes a new concept that goes beyond the scope of the bill. Therefore, I declare this amendment out of order.
Ms. Rempel Garner, please go ahead.
