In the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Second Edition, it states on pages 767 to 768:
Since an amendment may not infringe upon the financial initiative of the Crown, it is inadmissible if it imposes a charge on the public treasury, or if it extends the objects or purposes or relaxes the conditions and qualifications specified in the royal recommendation.
In the opinion of the chair, which is me, the amendment proposes a new scheme that seems to alter the terms and conditions of the royal recommendation. I therefore rule the amendment inadmissible.
Mr. Stoffer.
