Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for providing us with this information.
My first question is for you, Dr. Coelho, and I would ask you to answer briefly.
When I practised medicine, one of my patients had multiple sclerosis. He suffered greatly and had only vestigial mobility in his fingers as he tried to bring his hand up to his mouth. He asked me to do nothing and to let him die if one day his heart stopped beating. One day his heart did stop and we reanimated him. He later told me that he was happy we had done so, that he was all there mentally and that he didn't want to die.
Do you have those kinds of patients?
If we were to transport that patient 20 years forward to the present, to 2022, would that kind of patient request medical assistance in dying?
I'd like you to paint a picture here, but briefly, because I also have a question for Ms. Hewitt.
