Thank you for your question.
I'll answer it simply by saying that it isn't the system that administers medical assistance in dying; it's the clinicians.
All the clinicians who belong to the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, or CAMAP, have worked very hard in the past two years to establish safeguards. To do that, in the past year, they've followed the recommendations of the experts' report, among other things. We agree this isn't a simple issue. However, three years have now elapsed, and I don't think we'll be any further ahead if we delay another three years.
The issue is based on a clinical decision element, with all the necessary safeguards, as recommended in the expert's report. However, I repeat that this isn't a simple issue. In my view, delaying for another three years will result in absolutely no change in the situation. We will only be indefinitely postponing the decision, as we mentioned earlier.
