Thank you.

My next question is for Dr. Kelleher.

Dr. Kelleher, has the research and findings you've shared with us today been put into the context of the Carter decision by the Supreme Court of Canada?

I would like to point out that the Carter case, unanimously, guided us in medical assistance in dying based on section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This section speaks to the right to life, liberty and security of the person.

See context to find out what was said next.
