I guess my question back to you, Senator, would be this: Why then are we not offering...?
If that is the premise, that we're taking this particular special right away from this particular group of people.... If we were worried about that, we would be offering MAID to people not at end of life across the board. It wouldn't be designated for a particular group of people and then further expanded to people with MAID for mental illness.
We would be saying anybody who suffers intolerably and is not at end of life has access to MAID and can go to their family doctor, an assessor or a medical practitioner and request it. That is not what we are saying.
