In Quebec, the discussion is still only about illness, and neither disease nor disability has come into it. So we have the Canadian act and the Quebec act. The doctors and other members of the order I am privileged to preside over may find themselves in difficult situations with respect to patient requests of this kind. In Quebec, the Quebec act takes precedence over the Canadian act. That's why I say that there ought not to be two acts for the same condition.
Doctors are often in contact with patients who deserve medical assistance in dying and whose requests ought to be accepted, but the Quebec act does not allow it.
