I think what's really clear is that there aren't enough social protections for vulnerable Canadians, including people with disabilities, and the reality is that this legislation is an aspirational piece of legislation. While I understand that some people believe this is towards enshrining the rights of individuals to make a choice, they have missed the reality check that I think we all have to have. The majority of human rights complaints in this country are disability-related, sir.
The United Nations has expressed concern to Canada with respect to even entertaining this kind of change in legislation. I really believe that it's an important opportunity for legislators to take a moment, to take a pause, to do the five-year review, as has been suggested by other members of this panel, and to slow down this process.
It's critical that we take a step back. As I said, I don't think anybody here wants to regret making an egregious decision in legislation that's going to take away people's lives, and I'm afraid that's where we are. That's not based on anything that has been presented here, of course, because we haven't had objective evidence presented, and I think that's another key issue.
Thank you.
