Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our panellists for being here. My question is for Professor Gilbert.
Your work is focused extensively on equality rights and removing discriminatory barriers in access to MAID.
How do you reconcile the expansion of access based on equality rights with the obligation of the state or the government to protect individuals who may be vulnerable due to mental illness, particularly where capacity, irremediability and external pressures are difficult to assess?
Where should Parliament draw the line between expanding rights and ensuring sufficient safeguards?
