I think we're giving up on the sufferer. Previous witnesses talked about the social determinants of health. If we have not put in place everything that we can possibly do as a society to build people up to where they want to live so they can move beyond surviving to thriving, then we haven't done our job as a society. Offering them MAID is the easiest way out, because it doesn't cost us any money and we don't have to do anything extra.
I find that absolutely appalling. If Victor were here now, he would tell you that his assessment for MAID was the easiest medical assessment he'd been through in his life, and it should not be like that.
Does that answer your question?
