I thank all the witnesses for their testimony.
Ms. Carr, if I understand your presentation and reasoning correctly, you are saying that there is systemic discrimination, that people with disabilities are treated poorly, and that this would have an adverse effect. Indeed, this would mean that the system’s inability to properly care for these individuals would leave them with only one option: medical assistance in dying.
Regarding track 2, I understand that you are opposed to expanding medical assistance in dying to individuals whose death is not imminent—that is, in all scenarios under track 2.
Don’t you think it would be systemic discrimination if the Supreme Court had ruled, in general terms, that any person living with a disability would never have access to medical assistance in dying, simply because they fall into the category of people with disabilities?
