Subamendment; beyond scope of amendmentLe 24 janvier 1966
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
"A subamendment should not enlarge upon the scope of the amendment but it should deal with matters that are not covered by the amendment." Many subamendments moved in similar circumstances have been ruled out of order because they did not deal directly with the amendment. In this case, the subamendment deals with an entirely different subject. Although this matter is related to social security measures, the relationship is neither complete nor specific enough.
