Thank you, Co-Chair.
I think many people seeking MAID are less able than they once were. Some may be disabled or have become disabled, and some may be contemplating suicide reluctantly because they don't have the option of MAID. I think we have to be very careful in our discussions here that we do some fact-checking. I think it's risky that we accuse MAID providers, licensed medical professionals in this country, of coercing people into MAID, of imposing MAID on people, of making offers of MAID in exchange for freedom. These are matters of law, the courts have ruled on this and the governments have responded by writing very carefully crafted legislation, so I want us to be very cautious in that.
I want to go to Mr. Adams, if I could, because you have been through that process, both attempting to do so under Bill C-14 and then again under Bill C-7. You said that you thought it was an intense process. Give us a couple of examples. Do you think you could have walked in and said, I have nowhere to live, or I'm part of a minority group, please give me MAID, and they would have responded?
