Professor Downie, I want to salute you, first of all, not only for being a professor of medicine and law, which is something, but also for your work with the provincial-territorial advisory group on physician-assisted dying. It's an enormous piece of work.
I was very disturbed by what you said. Essentially, I heard you say that the way it's drafted, proposed subsection 241.2(2) unjustifiably reduces access to medical assistance in dying. Then you gave the example of Kay Carter, whom you said would not be able to avail herself of this service. Then we had another witness today, who said that Ms. Rodriguez would likewise be unable to do so. People who have major physical disabilities, but who may live for a lot longer, are not protected in this bill at all. I think you indicated that it would be unconstitutional—I don't want to put words in your mouth, I want to hear them—for us to limit this protection to terminal patients or those reasonably approaching death, or for whom natural death is reasonably foreseeable. Is that accurate? Have I captured your conclusion right?
