Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, when I was on the special joint committee, we heard from a lot of witnesses on far-ranging topics. I remember, when it came to the specific subject matter we're dealing with here, with Bill C-39, that some of our witnesses said that there aren't really any specific criteria for knowing that a mental illness is irremediable, and that there is not a lot of evidence out there that anyone can reliably determine if an individual suffering from a mental illness will not improve. That's how it's different from a physical illness. That's what's given us a lot of pause. We just want to make sure we are, in fact, getting this right. I think that's why you're seeing a lot of this trepidation.
I agree that Bill C-39 needs to be passed. We do need this extension, but, given the testimony that we received in terms of the irremediability of mental disorders and the unknowns that still exist, when we are approaching March 2024, how are you going to ensure that everything is, in fact, in place? Are you going to put in place plans for Parliament to have another say or another review of this before that deadline comes into effect in 2024?
