I might begin by just saying that one significant difference between, say, Belgium and the Netherlands and Canada in terms of our MAID frameworks is that Belgium and the Netherlands have a criterion that effectively requires the other treatments or alternative means of alleviating the suffering to have been tried and failed, whereas in the Canadian MAID legal framework it's for the individual, the person seeking MAID, to determine whether any particular treatment is acceptable to them, or not, as a means of alleviating suffering. That's one important difference between the regimes that you might look at.
As a broader comment on lessons learned, while those jurisdictions certainly do have a longer experience with MAID outside of a very end-of-life context compared to Canada, these cases remain controversial and difficult even over there. There are also important differences in not just the legal framework but also in our health system and in our society that the committee may wish to consider as well in looking at this issue—the geography of Canada, the shared responsibility between the provinces and territories, and so on.
