Thank you, Mr. Thériault.
We don't disagree that people need to have their rights respected. That's very true. The challenge is that unless people have access to palliative care to help relieve...and we know that universal access to palliative care does not exist in Canada, and that issue needs to be addressed.
Regarding the reflection period, even people with a reasonably foreseeable natural death sometimes need time to address their suffering and have their symptoms addressed, and they may change their minds. It is contextual, as Dr. Chochinov has mentioned, and we need to make sure that we have legislation that addresses that.
