Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is about advance directives. Surveys show that Canadians are strongly in favour of allowing advance directives, a measure recommended by the Senate as well as the 2016 joint committee.
I am wondering whether the officials here today can tell us whether they anticipate moving towards a comprehensive regulatory system from a policy standpoint, or a system whereby advance directives would simply be allowed under the Criminal Code? In that case, it would be up to the provinces to regulate the preservation and periodic review of advance directives, witness requirements and so on.
