Ruling
September 27, 1971
Infringing on financial initiative of the Crown
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Once passed, the motion in amendment would make possible the payment of an income support grant to fishermen and farmers; the clause to be amended, however, deals exclusively with the provision of employment support grants. Consequently, the motion in amendment would affect the terms of the Recommendation. An amendment infringes on the Crown's financial initiative if "it increases the amount, extends the objectives and purposes, or relaxes the conditions and qualifications expressed in the communication by which the Crown has demanded or recommended a charge".

Holding
"The amendment is inadmissible because it expands the purpose of the expenditure beyond what was authorized by the Royal Recommendation, thereby infringing on the financial initiative of the Crown."
AI Summary
A ruling that an amendment is out of order for expanding the scope of a financial measure beyond the limits set by the Royal Recommendation.
