Thank you so much.
I am a regulator. I've worked with professional regulation for a long time. One role of professional regulation is to ensure that professional standards are upheld. One concern I would have, if this was incorporated in some form of regulation or statute, is that it is then difficult to change and it really may be quite rigid in terms of how it is addressed. I would support the minimum level of safeguards incorporated into the legislation. Consultation is one that I think we—both of your speakers—agree on.
In terms of any additional requirements, I think you can rely upon the regulators across Canada to provide guidance, which I think we have done. When we provide that guidance to our members, we say what we expect of them if they are to be involved in medical assistance in dying.
Thank you.
