Thank you, Mr. Van Popta, for the question. I appreciate the sincerity with which you're asking it. I commend you for that.
I want to say to Canadians and say to you that we have now done the work. What I said in 2020 and 2019, I meant: Our consultations had said there wasn't a consensus. I respected the parliamentary process and our dealings with the Senate. Instead of passing a law and then saying we'll move to mental illness as a criterion, we accepted the Senate's reversal of that to say we'll put a time limit on it; otherwise, it will happen inevitably.
It forced us to do the work, and we did the work. I think there is now a very strong consensus—amongst particularly clinicians and people who work with people with mental disorders. These are people who have tried multiple ways to help those suffering from mental disorders and who in a number of cases say there's nothing left that they can do; the person would like to seek MAID.
The timing of this and the work that has to be done have not changed. The order in terms of legislative technique has changed, but the substance of what I had to say hasn't changed. We are in a much better place now, and I think we're ready to move forward.
