I had the opportunity to speak with a lawyer before the legislation came down. He was excited that such a provision may be included because he was going to make a lot of money off it, and it just seems to be a make-work project for lawyers that only wealthy people will have access to. I spoke about this at an earlier meeting. In certain jurisdictions, a motions court may only meet once a month, or it may be limited. This really restricts medical assistance in dying to only those who have money and those who can access the court system, which really limits what we're trying to do in this legislation.
