Thank you.
In my six minutes, just let me say at the outset that I think when witnesses refer to other witnesses on the panel as “lobbyists”, in a derogatory manner, I don't think that's very respectful and perhaps the chair should make some remarks in that regard.
I'm going to ask three questions to three different parties.
The first is for Dying With Dignity and Ms. Long and Senator Cowan. We've heard from others during the course of today's discussions about the fact that the Truchon decision should have been appealed to a higher court, rather than acted upon immediately in terms of alleviating people's suffering. I wonder if Dying With Dignity has any views on that. Minister Lametti was quite clear that it was acted upon immediately in order to address the suffering that was identified in the decision.
Could you answer that in 90 seconds, please, Senator Cowan or Ms. Long?
