Ruling
April 14, 1969
Substantive motion
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
A reasoned amendment would have to be declaratory of a principle in opposition to or differing from the principle, policy or provisions of the bill. The proposed amendment is not declaratory of a principle, but rather proposes an alternative scheme. It is, in fact, in the form of a substantive motion, which can be moved only with the usual notice.

Holding
"The proposed amendment is out of order because it is a substantive motion requiring notice, not a valid reasoned amendment."
AI Summary
A proposed amendment was ruled out of order because it constituted a substantive motion proposing an alternative scheme, not a reasoned amendment opposing the bill's principle.
