Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My question is first for Dr. Shaw and then Dr. Stainton.
I think that every member of this committee would agree that lack of appropriate housing and community supports should not be the determining factor to access MAID for anyone with a disability; however, not all people with a disability live in such circumstances, and their choice for MAID may be completely divorced from the need for any additional supports.
What advice would you give this committee to ensure that we have safeguards for people with disabilities who require additional supports so that they don't seek MAID as an alternative, but, at the same time, not deny those people with a disability who wish to choose MAID as an choice and who are not deciding to do so because of a lack of resources?
