Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses today for their important and relevant testimony.
Dr. Chochinov, I have a question for you. We've heard from witnesses who are especially concerned about the impact this bill will have on persons with disabilities. We heard this week from groups representing persons with disabilities. There's been some discussion here about those for whom death is not reasonably foreseeable. Number one, when death is reasonably foreseeable, there's removing the 10-day waiting period, but when death is not reasonably foreseeable, there would be a new 90-day period. We've heard from several people that this is wholly inadequate, the 90-day period, because some people may have barely begun treatment.
Could you provide any insight around this 90-day period between when someone could request MAID or be assessed for MAID, and then receive MAID, when their death is not reasonably foreseeable?
