Thank you so much.
I want to point out that this reflection was also on behalf of the practitioners who were providing medical assistance in dying. I've never met a more thoughtful group of people. They're helping people make very profound decisions and all the practitioners noted to us that they felt that the additional 10-day waiting period was, in many cases, undue cruelty. They felt that by the time a person got to a place where they had thoroughly searched their soul, thoroughly explored their options with their family members, etc, and knew that their days were final, this reflection was deep, considered and profound, and the additional 10 days did nothing to help that person reflect. In fact, all of that reflection, the assessment period and the offering of additional services had already happened prior to the request for MAID.
I want to reiterate that this was not just from the perspective of the families and, obviously, the patients whom we have some very famous examples of, but also from the perspective of the practitioners, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude because they are truly some of the most thoughtful practitioners we have, doing immensely, deeply important work in our society.
