Thank you very much, Madam Co-Chair.
Dr. Green, I'd like to start with you.
In the motion that the House passed authorizing this committee to start its work, one of our main topics is going to be the protection of Canadians with disabilities. I was furiously scribbling notes as you were making your opening statement, and I do know that you made reference to the necessity of disability supports.
I have heard concerns, and I'm sure many of my colleagues have, from commentators who've said that MAID could be requested by vulnerable populations because of a lack of supports to ensure an adequate quality of life for individuals who may be sick or may have a disability. With those concerns that have been expressed in mind, I'd like to ask you if you can talk about any encounters in your practice or in that of any of your colleagues with individuals who have sought MAID and whose requests seemed to be based on a lack of supports. If so, how did you or your colleagues advise those individuals?
