I am sorry. The time has expired.
I am now ready prior to recognizing the hon. parliamentary secretary to rule on the amendment proposed by the chief government whip.
After consideration the Chair must rule that the proposed amendment by the hon. chief government whip is out of order because it goes against citation 579 of Beauchesne's sixth edition as it sets forth a proposition dealing with a matter which is foreign to the proposed proposition involved in the main motion and as it raises a new question. Second, it goes against citation 929 of Beauchesne's which states:
On an allotted day, during consideration of the business of Supply, an amendment must not provide the basis for an entirely different debate than that proposed in the original motion.
Also, as quoted in the "Selected Decisions of Speaker Lamoureux" on page 322, it was ruled by the Chair on March 16, 1971 that:
-for an allotted day, "the spirit of fair play would require that the day not be taken away by means of an amendment".
