Thank you very much, Mr. Moore, for your question. Thank you for all your work on this committee, and thank you for the shout-out to my able parliamentary secretary, Arif Virani. It's a pleasure to be able to work with both of you.
Your question is an important one. My understanding is that our party has instructed all of my colleagues that it is a free vote this evening. My understanding is that it's true for both the amendment and the main motion.
With respect to mental illness, it's a serious question. We know that. It's a difficult question—we know that too—and it touches all of us profoundly. We're increasing our knowledge about mental illness daily. I will repeat what I said before, which is that there isn't a consensus yet on how to move forward.
That being said, it was always going to be the case, given the Supreme Court decision in Carter, that we would have to look at that seriously. It was always going to be the case that we were going to look at it in the next phase of the parliamentary review, and that will still be the case. None of that has changed.
What has changed is that we have moved forward with the joint parliamentary committee of the House and Senate to review the legislation. We have moved forward with the idea, following the Senate amendment proposal, of moving ahead with a committee of experts to study the question in great detail. It's an important and difficult question. I certainly understand that, but we have to move forward with it. We can't simply avoid it. We have to try to find a way forward, given the seriousness of mental illness and given the challenging issues that surround it with respect to MAID.
