Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Virani essentially restated my arguments. I do believe that attempting to legislate a particular timeline between the two tracks is not the way for us to proceed. I agree with him that, as I said in my earlier remarks, this is a decision for clinicians to make. It is not for us to try to set an arbitrary date that has no relationship to medical practice in the law.
Practice will evolve as we go forward. The professional associations in each province will give guidance to physicians if any concerns or problems arise from the concept of reasonable foreseeability. I do not believe we should select any particular number of months to insert into the bill.
Thank you.
