Thank you, Madam Chair.
It is difficult for me to follow the interpretation when my colleagues are commenting out loud. So I call for calm and serenity while we are talking about medical assistance in dying.
Ms. Downie, you sent us a short text where you said that the Carter decision and the Baudouin ruling did not exclude mental disorders.
Can you tell us more about that and explain why that is the case? Earlier, we were told that the Carter decision did not allow using a mental disorder as the sole medical condition for obtaining medical assistance in dying. You also said that the Baudouin ruling, among others, rejected the general exclusion based on membership in a group, such as vulnerable persons. I don't know if you remember.
Can you explain to us how the Carter decision would be unconstitutional if it was decided to give people with mental disorders access to medical assistance in dying?
