Members will know that, on the issue of the medical assistance in dying legislation, there is an ongoing controversy and there are ongoing implementation issues across the country on this. It's unclear to me whether Bill C-7, as currently crafted, will resolve all the issues that were identified by the Quebec courts with the Truchon decision, and all the other potential issues that might need to be resolved in settling the medical assistance in dying legislation.
We don't know this for a fact, but would the legislation have been improved by more fulsome debate in the House of Commons? I think that's the question to ask.
