Thank you, Madam Chair.
My questions will be directed to Professor Lemmens.
Professor, today you have heard again here at committee the suggestion that the law in Canada compels parliamentarians to introduce MAID for the mentally ill. We heard that also from Ms. Shelley Birenbaum at our last meeting. She said that she represented the CBA, the Canadian Bar Association, and she suggested that there was “a strong charter vulnerability” if Canada did not expand MAID to include the mentally ill.
Do you agree with that assessment, that we face a strong charter vulnerability if we don't expand MAID?
