Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Professor Gaind.
If I understood correctly, he is opposed to offering medical assistance in dying to people whose only problem is a mental health problem, with no comorbidity. In his opinion, there is nothing to justify expanding that.
As a specialist in this subject, has he studied the situation in the Netherlands and Belgium, where medical assistance in dying is available for people suffering solely from mental health problems?
Do the studies done there, in particular the commissions' annual reports, indicate that there is a problem? In the Netherlands, fewer than 1 per cent of cases end in euthanasia; in Belgium, in 2020, it mentioned 21 cases out of 2,444.
