Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You know that I have a special interest in this issue. I sit on the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, which was recently reconstituted.
In its first phase of consideration of mental disorders as the sole underlying medical condition, the committee did not see fit to make a recommendation to the House right away.
We studied the report of the experts on mental disorders, who put in place a number of guidelines, some of which are not present in other cases involving medical assistance in dying. I imagine that you have also studied that report.
Briefly and perhaps as a preamble to a future appearance before the committee, what do you have to tell us this evening about the state of readiness in this regard?
