Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The motion states clearly that the vote of the House was not one of non-confidence in the Government. The amendment, however, seeks to add irrelevant conditions. It also raises a new proposition and can only be presented to the House as a substantive motion with notice.

Holding
"An amendment is out of order if it is irrelevant, goes beyond the scope of the main motion, or raises a new proposition requiring a separate substantive motion."
