Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Ms. Hewitt, I'd like to start my questioning with you.
The mandate of our committee is actually quite broad. We were appointed to review the provisions of the Criminal Code relating to medical assistance in dying and their application, but we're also including things like mature minors, advance requests, mental illness, the state of palliative care in Canada and also the protection of Canadians with disabilities.
When you think of that last part—that the protection of Canadians with disabilities is part of our committee's mandate—what comes to mind for you with regard to that instruction to this committee from the House of Commons?
