I think sometimes when we're talking about conscience protection, we tend to focus on whether people want to be involved in the act of hastening death itself. There's a very important concern about conscience for making an effective referral that isn't alluded to. I understand that the Canadian Medical Association will speak to you on this matter. Again, the solution is to have an effective coordinating system that will take care of that.
I think that is going to be a significant issue, to force physicians to make a referral that they feel complicit in the act. I'm not sure that needs to be put into the Criminal Code. I think in terms of implementation, to have a separate coordinating system will absolutely ensure access to patients and will give the conscience protection that physicians need and deserve.
