Thank you for the question. I fully understand, and we have observed the debate as it has unfolded and continues to unfold in provinces and territories with medical regulators, with physicians, and with others across the country.
The bill does not compel or require anyone to provide the assistance. It opens an exemption in the criminal law to protect those who are providing medical assistance to individuals who fit within the criteria as established in the bill from what would otherwise be criminal liability. That's the nature and scope of the bill and the intention of the government.
There are a variety of other regulatory matters, medical professionalism and other issues, associated with this. We know from discussions on our side and certainly from the Health Canada discussions with provinces and territories that medical regulators, provinces, and territories are actively engaged in looking at their dimensions of this issue, and we've no doubt that examination will continue.
