Thank you for explaining your amendment, Mr. Williams, but I need to make you aware of a ruling by the chair.
Bill C-235 would enact the act respecting the building of a green economy in the Prairies. The purpose of the amendment is to foster “job creation in traditional energy industries in the Prairies”, rather than fostering a zero-emissions economy through retraining.
According to page 770 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, “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 job creation in traditional energy industries is contrary to the principle of the bill.
Accordingly, the amendment is out of order.
If there are no other comments, we will move to the next amendment we have, which is G-4.
I see Mr. Fillmore on G-4.
