Thank you.

I will now turn to Dr. L'Espérance.

Dr. L'Espérance, I'd like to talk about the situation as it relates to people with disabilities. The issue has been brought up repeatedly today as well as in the House.

In 90 seconds, I would like to hear your thoughts on Mr. Truchon and Ms. Gladu's case. Beyond their disabilities, it was necessary to recognize their access, autonomy and dignity, while taking into account their suffering. Could you please comment on their autonomy and decision-making power as persons with disabilities?
