Thank you very much.
I am sorry to hear the stories that we hear from people at this committee. I happen to have experienced in my own life, as I know many of my colleagues have, knowing close friends or family who have chosen MAID and have done so willingly. It was not something forced upon them. It was not something they chose because they had some kind of disability, either mental or physical, or because of social determinants. This is available under the law, and they have chosen it.
While I think we all agree on one issue, which is that discrimination is not a good thing in any way, what I'm hearing from many of you here tonight is that your choices or your situations mean that you're willing to see those who want access to MAID discriminated against.
I'll start with Ms. Carr.
Are you in favour of medical assistance in dying in any situation at all?
