I appreciate that. I don't know anything about medicine. I dropped out of high school to play in a punk band. My life experience is dealing with families in crisis. That's what I do as a member of Parliament. We deal with this all the time.
It is a very emotional issue for people. I have a really hard time going back to them and saying “Don't worry; there will be a process for MAID” but not being able to tell them there will be a process for their loved one to get treatment.
Who is eligible, and who is not? If it's deep depression, I know people who have had deep depression for years. I know people who have been deeply suicidal for years. I'm reading all the clinical reports on how they should be treated and how they should assessed. To me, it doesn't sound like the real world. It sounds like an ideal situation of someone who sought this, who comes through the door and has made an informed decision. We're dealing with people who live in storms of darkness and upheaval, and then they settle down and their families go with them.
What are the provisions that separate that?
