Thank you, Madam Chair.
My questions are for Dr. Montes.
Dr. Montes, in the last panel, we heard what I would characterize as pretty shocking testimony from one witness, Professor MacIntosh, who asserted that children as young as 12 have the potential capacity to make a decision to terminate their lives. Of course, 12-year-olds are years away from voting and from being able to make other adult choices. In the province of Quebec, the Consumer Protection Act bans commercial advertising that targets youth under the age of 13.
In 2017 the Senate unanimously passed Bill S-228 that prohibits the marketing of food and beverage products to those under the age of 17.
How do you square that with Professor MacIntosh's assertion that 12-year-olds can make a decision to terminate their lives?
