I agree with you wholeheartedly. We have to not only make people like your daughter want to do this job, but we also need to make people like your daughter understand that we have their backs and we're there for them.
We talked about first responders during the pandemic. Everybody, rightfully, was thanking first responders. You can never thank them enough.
I had a paramedic come to my office one day, and she didn't come out and say it, but she sort of suggested that paramedics were always left off that list. It left a very, very powerful impression on me.
That is my way of saying thank you again for doing this. But I want to get on to the second panel. I know we have some paramedics here, so I will stop there.
You made it very clear that you're willing to accept amendments. There's a consensus around this table. It's readily apparent that we support the bill. We just want to avoid any overlap potential with Bill C-3. I think you've already agreed, as Ms. Brière pointed out, to the amendment that would mirror the language with respect to health care professionals and those providing health care services so that could be accomplished.
You're right. You want to capture everybody, not only people who are on the job, but people who might not be on the job or are providing these types of services in another capacity or at another time.
I will leave it there, so we can move on. I thank you, Mr. Doherty, from the bottom of my heart.
