Thank you, Chair.
On conscience protection, you said that the bill does not compel or require. You said that the Supreme Court said that we're to create a complex regulatory system. There has been a major focus, and rightly so, on vulnerable Canadians, but probably the number one issue we hear about as parliamentarians is to make sure that conscience rights are being protected. The legislation is silent on that. It does not compel or require, but it also does not protect.
It is possible, then, as we amend the Criminal Code of Canada to permit this, that we could also make it a criminal offence to coerce, intimidate, or force a physician against their will to participate. Is that not correct?
