I see where this amendment is coming from, and I appreciate this, but this is a solution without a problem. We asked individuals, asked witnesses, and heard evidence to the fact that there is no issue among the colleges and the associations with respect to physicians exercising conscience rights across the province. There's nothing in this bill that requires an individual to do something. I believe this is outside the scope. I don't think it's an appropriate time for the federal government to be legislating the affairs of the colleges of physicians and surgeons across the country.
