UNDRIP called for the total repeal of track 2 MAID, including mental illness as a sole underlying condition, so there are no recommendations that I would make to anybody, because if we are going to be consistent with our international obligations, it should be removed. We wouldn't have to have a conversation.
My recommendation is that we provide quality, adequate and timely services to persons with mental illness as the sole underlying condition and to persons, indigenous people, with disabilities. That's the only recommendation I can make. I can't make recommendations where irremediability is so divided among clinicians and say, “How do we make this more culturally appropriate and how do we make it fit for your community?” It wouldn't make sense to do that.
We need to act upon the recommendations of the UN. We need to repeal this, including mental illness as a sole underlying condition, and get people the support they need to thrive in their communities, without exception. There are multiple areas that have to be addressed. It's not just access to mental health services. It's housing. It's conditions of poverty. It's isolation.
It's all of those things that I'm saying are stacked up and stacked up.... No, there's nothing I would say that could make this...where I would say that I would want to see this be a reality.
