I hope it is a point of order and I believe it is. I have raised this matter on another Bill. It seems to me to be very odd that a Bill is presented before this House with the view that it should be reviewed and changed but certain sections of it are automatically immune. I do not see why the Title of the Bill should be immune from scrutiny in this House or from amendment. The Chair's ruling is ultra viresto the power of this House. We have the power to change the Bill.
