Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I'm going to make a comment about our two psychiatrists.
It seems to me, from what they have told us this evening, that they are of the same opinion. They are testifying as individuals to tell us that they are at odds with the Canadian Psychiatric Association, the Canadian Bar Association, the Association des médecins psychiatres du Québec, the Federation of Medical Regulatory Authorities of Canada, the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers—we have a lot of comments on that—and the Collège des médecins du Québec.
According to Dr. Gaind, the members of these organizations are ideologically motivated activists. We used to see that in the former Soviet Union, where science was pitted against ideology. When someone disagreed with the other person's opinion, they accused the other person of basing their position on ideology. It's called “scientism.” That said, this is not the place for an epistemological debate.
The fact remains that I am interested in Bill C‑62, but I haven't heard anything on the bill, which contains a very important provision. Do you believe that we should postpone the provision indefinitely? Do you agree with the three-year period? I would just like to know what you think.
Dr. Gagnon, you have the floor.
