Thanks very much, Madam Chair.
Through you, I would like to thank both of our witnesses for appearing here today and sharing their perspective on this difficult topic.
I'm going to start with my first question for Chief Henry.
First of all, again, thank you, Chief, for bringing your experience and perspective to us.
The capacity that children have to make decisions, I think is really important, and I would like to get your perspective on that. We sometimes take it for granted. Other times, we are very protective of our children, based on their susceptibility to influence. I think about things like alcohol, tobacco, and lately vaping and narcotics, and the protections that we offer to youth. All advertising in the province of Quebec to youth is restricted.
I'm wondering what your perspective is of an offer of, or information provided to, youth, and specifically to indigenous youth, from a trusted person like a medical practitioner with respect to MAID while that youth is living with suffering.
