Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for her question. I sincerely believe that a 90-day period is insufficient, because there is often a long wait time before a patient can see a counsellor and obtain the necessary support. Also, I think that our society should send the message that we are there regardless of the situation.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize those who are in the medical profession and volunteers in palliative care and in hospices. They make such a difference in the lives and the families of the others. That is something that I feel needs to be there. It concerns me that MAID is in the Canada Health Act, which guarantees public funding and access for all, yet palliative care is not available.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I will read a post by a well-known physician in Ridge Meadows Hospital in Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge. It states, “I personally have had a patient undergo MAID who would have had a very good chance of living for 5 or more years. The quality of care and the decision to administer MAID was very questionable in my view and when I contacted the coroner to request a review was told that these cases are not reviewable by the coroner's service.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Calgary Centre. The opioid crisis continues to spiral out of control, with 170 deaths in the month of May alone in British Columbia.
