Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. I really appreciate you reminding us that we have huge challenges in improving equitable access to high-quality medical care across Canada, and this absolutely includes palliative care.
I have two questions for The Dorothy Ley Hospice group [Technical difficulty—Editor] and then the second one.
I understand that the hospice provides high-quality palliative care, but you still see patients who request MAID even though they have received high-quality palliative care. For these patients, do they state that their request for MAID is due to not receiving quality palliative care, or do they choose MAID, even after they receive high-quality palliative care, for another reason?
