Thank you very much, Ms. May.
I have two comments on this.
First, as Ms. May mentioned, if this amendment is adopted, amendments CPC‑19 and CPC‑20 cannot be moved because of a line conflict.
Second, the chair finds this amendment inadmissible for the following reason. The bill before us allows the minister, under section 15.4, to order that information be provided to the minister if the minister considers it relevant to establish or verify compliance with an order made under sections 15.1 and 15.2. PV‑5 would require the minister to obtain authorization from a judge to issue such an order in certain circumstances.
In the well‑known reference work, it states that “an amendment to a bill referred to a committee after second reading is out of order if it goes beyond the scope and principle of the bill.” The chair therefore concludes that introducing a requirement for judicial authorization prior to issuing such orders constitutes a new concept that goes beyond the scope of the bill. Accordingly, I rule this amendment inadmissible.
Mr. Caputo, you have the floor.
