Yes, it's on the amendment, Madam Chair.
My concern with this is that, in fact, this has everything to do with palliative care. The testimony we heard on the bill at committee certainly was that the quality of palliative care can have a direct impact on a person's approach to assisted dying.
Witnesses told us about a number of factors that go into that decision. Palliative care was certainly front and centre as a significant factor. In fact, when we talk about a person's choice to pursue assisted dying or not, it was presented to us that it's not a true choice if a person does not have access to palliative care, so I'd disagree.
I think this particular provision amends the Criminal Code. That was what was required when we brought in Bill C-14, and indeed in Bill C-7. It was required that some provisions in the Criminal Code be amended when it comes to counselling someone. The legislation touches on any number of factors dealing with consultation and dealing with the expertise of individual physicians.
It's quite clear to me that this particular amendment should be ruled in order.
