In fact, I must confess that I thought it was far more robust than I might have anticipated and probably even more robust than what we saw in previous conversations about medical assistance in dying.
From that perspective, I think there were multiple opportunities for folks to weigh in, but I also think, just looking at the witness list, that the individuals and groups who were being invited to this table.... I'm really noting that the committee is canvassing a diversity of views, which I think is the strength of this process, augmenting what you already would have seen from the consultation process across Canada.
The transparency of these meetings, as well as the reporting, I think serves to provide something that citizens as well as individuals from protected groups can look at to see the extent to which their voices have been heard. I think there has been some seriousness taken to ensuring that diversity of views, at least from where I sit from somebody on the outside.
