Relevance; beyond scope of resolution
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
If the words of the proposed amendment do not enlarge the terms of the clause, then the amendment is redundant and superfluous. If they do enlarge the terms of the clause, they must be examined to determine whether the amendment is consistent with the detailed provisions of the resolution preceding the bill. In this case, the proposed amendment would affect the conditions and qualifications set out in detail in the resolution approved by the House prior to receiving the bill.
