Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
My question is for this morning's three witnesses.
Over the decades, we've seen that one of the fundamental principles of the modern movement on behalf of persons with disabilities has been to ensure equality in terms of access to programs and services that every member of society ought to be able to expect.
Given that the decision-making process for people considering medical assistance in dying is extremely personal and unique to their own particular situation, irrespective of the circumstances surrounding their status and their perspective, whether or not they identify as having a disability, and assuming that all the guarantees, safeguards and protocols are in place and working properly, what would you say to a person who is disabled and who has decided in a clear and well-informed manner to request medical assistance in dying in collaboration with medical teams?
