I will be depositing a charter statement with respect to this bill.
The short answer is that I was right in 2021 and I'm right now.
A lot of work has been done since 2021. We've had an expert committee that has looked at this. They have evaluated the safeguards, they have evaluated clinical practice and they have produced a set of guidelines. A great deal of work has been done with provinces and territories in this regard. We're not in the same place we were in 2021.
You will recall that when a number of people around this table asked me in 2021, I said we simply needed more time with respect to mental illness. The direction was always going to be that we would get there because, as I've said—and even if it is true that Carter didn't explicitly state this—the direction of the courts is clear that this is a section 7 and section 15 right.
