I'd like to open up my next question to both ministers. Perhaps you can provide some clarification with regard to the safeguards section of the bill and the 15-day waiting period. In the bill it's marked as “15 clear days”, which may in fact become 16 or 17 days, depending on how you look at it from a legal standpoint.
I'm concerned that forcing someone to wait 15 days, 16 days, 17 days in a typical case, while they're suffering and in pain, may be arbitrary and have issues under section 7, and may even be cruel and unusual.
Can you elaborate on the importance of this section and your interpretation of it?
