Thank you, Madam Chair.
Dr. Naud, you are entirely right to talk about experience in Quebec, which has included in a continuum of care the possibility that a request for medical assistance in dying will emerge along the way, rather than treating it as conflicting with other care.
Dr. Herx said that we had to take a holistic approach, and I absolutely agree. However, how would palliative care, this comprehensive support in dying, suddenly create a feeling of failure if one fine day, because the dying person has received good palliative care, they are completely calm and say they are ready to let go? It might also be a success for palliative care, to allow for genuine support in dying, might it not?
