If I could just respond to that.
Part of the problem in this debate is the definition of referral. When we talk about referral, we're talking about a formal referral, which is essentially a recommendation.
If patients are in a facility that is not able to provide assisted death on the premises, then our moral beliefs allow us and physicians within that facility to facilitate a transfer of the patient to the facility of their choice where they can get access to that procedure.
Similarly if a patient comes into a doctor's office and wants assisted death, and the doctor is a conscientious objector, there are number of ways to deal with that. One of them is to transfer to another physician. Another is if the provincial government were to develop a process of direct access for this, the patient could keep their physician.
There are many ways we can ensure patient requests are respected, while at the same time protecting conscience.
