Thank you, Madam Chair.

Welcome, Ms. Chandler. Thank you for your answers. Feel free to answer me in your mother tongue.

The May 2022 report of the Expert Panel on Medical Assistance in Dying and Mental Illness concludes that each of the 19 recommendations can be fulfilled without adding new legislative safeguards to the Criminal Code, even in the case of a request for medical assistance in dying for patients with only mental disorders.

Do you agree with that claim?
