I must interrupt the hon. member again.
Earlier today, the member for Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa presented an amendment to the motion to concur in the 10th report of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. The Chair took it under advisement. After consideration, the Chair finds that the amendment introduces a new concept that should be presented as a separate substantive motion.
As mentioned in House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, at page 541:
...it is irrelevant to the main motion (i.e., it deals with a matter foreign to the main motion, exceeds its scope, or introduces a new proposition which should properly be the subject of a separate substantive motion with notice);
As a result, I rule the amendment out of order.
The hon. parliamentary secretary.
