We addressed these points yesterday and said no. We talked about having judicial or some sort of pre-oversight, if not by a minister of health, then in conjunction with a minister of justice.
My problem with both of these is that judicial oversight or some sort of prior review takes away from the health care professionals the ability to determine informed valid consent. We trust them every day to make those decisions. We're taking that ability away from them and putting in place a layer of safeguards.
With regard to (b), making it a political decision is inappropriate. The Minister of Health has stated that she'll work with her colleagues in the provinces and territories to put together a framework to ensure that the profession observes safe and legal practices.
