Thank you.
As I was saying, Senator Peticlerc said yesterday in respect to what she heard from the witnesses at committee on Tuesday:
They cannot possibly represent and speak for all persons with a disability. Obviously, because you know they don't speak for me.
Furthermore, she said that neither did they speak for Nicole Gladu or Jean Truchon, the two Montrealers who successfully challenged the provision in the assisted-dying law—who committee members know are themselves persons with disabilities.
I want to ask the former judge Monsieur Rochon and Mr. Roberge a question about the Truchon decision. A witness on Tuesday impugned the integrity of that decision by alleging conflicts of interest and bias in deciding the case and said that, in fact, there should have been a recusal of Madame Justice Baudouin in that case.
Mr. Rochon, as a former member of the Quebec court, do you have any comments on that attack on the Quebec court and its independence?
