Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for sharing their thoughts and knowledge with us. We've studied many aspects of this legislation in the course of reviewing it, and probably the most affecting is this one, the whole issue of mature minors.
Dr. Morrison, thank you for your testimony. I have three questions for you. Take the time to explain what you think.
First, how do you determine that a young person has the capacity to make such an informed decision?
Second, do we have enough data on that? After all, there are very few places on the planet where medical assistance in dying is available to mature minors. It seems to me that it hasn't been documented well enough for us to embark on this journey. I'm not saying that I'm against it—quite the contrary—nor that I'm in favour of it. It's just that I have a lot of questions.
Finally, what criteria or safeguards should be included in this revised legislation if, in our power as legislators, we decide to allow mature minors to have access to medical assistance in dying?
Those are my three questions. You're an expert, so I'm listening.
