I certainly appreciate Mr. Rankin's amendment. I will be supporting it. I proposed an amendment that is more expansive than Mr. Rankin's, but Mr. Rankin's amendment is a step in the right direction and merits support.
I do have some concern, to the point that Mr. Fraser made, that it may be too narrow in terms of whom it protects. It only refers to a medical practitioner and a nurse practitioner, but it doesn't, for example, extend to pharmacists who may have a conscience objection, or other health care providers who may be involved in one way or another in administering physician-assisted dying.
I am wondering if Mr. Rankin might be open to an amendment to change his amendment along the lines of the wording found in my amendment CPC-23, excluding in terms of institutions, which would not be included because I understand that his amendment would not include that?
