For all the reasons and perspectives the other side brought up there in perhaps not supporting it, I think it just actually strengthens the whole notion that it's actually an imperative to have in here.
When I look at the scope, the G-3 amendment that we just inserted into this bill did not have to be there either. We chose to put it in there for the review.
All of our witnesses attested to the relationship between palliative care and physician-assisted suicide. You cannot separate the two. They're so critically important to each other. Say that we don't want to include in there a report or review of the whole aspect of palliative care because it's an inter-jurisdictional issue; well, so will physician-assisted suicide be inter-jurisdictional as well. It's going to require the same amount of collaboration with jurisdictions to get a decent report there as well.
This just helps to encompass the wholeness of what we're trying to do here, and that's to see whether this bill is really going to be effective, whether it's doing what we're asking it to do, and what the influencing factors that have affected the activity of this bill are. Palliative care is absolutely essential to that. If you do not review palliative care, you're not going to get a comprehensive review.
