Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to take the opportunity to ask a legal specialist who is here today something that I was asked in the past 24 hours and that I could not answer on the spot.
Mr. Roberge, in its report, Quebec and its special commission on the evolution of the end-of-life care act chose not to proceed and not recommend that the bill tabled this morning open the door to mental illness as the sole medical issue.
If we were to follow this recommendation and bill C‑7 and its sunset clause were indeed adopted, what effect would that have on coordination or consistency?
Do you think Quebec would then have to abide by that decision? Would it have some autonomy, leeway? We are well aware that the regulatory frameworks are not necessarily in the Criminal Code.
In your opinion, what would happen from a legal point of view?
