I want to make two points.
The first point deals with a comment made by the nice lady beside me, and it is that doctors can be prosecuted for this. They're very concerned about this. They have to be very careful.
In fact, when you look at the Criminal Code, it's impossible to do so. The law was written in such a way as to make it impossible, because it says that the doctor or nurse practitioner only has to “be of the opinion” that you fit the eligibility criteria of the law. That's not the only thing in the law which is concerning, but obviously, they simply have to say that they were of the opinion and that's it. It's done.
As for regulatory bodies in the provinces, there have been a few cases that have gone to regulatory bodies, but there have been no significant or any issues. The biggest issue was with a doctor in Ontario. It was a very egregious case. The Ontario college of physicians decided to say that the person cannot be involved in MAID anymore, but nothing else was done. In that case, the person continued to be a physician in every way, shape or form, but they were told they cannot be involved with MAID anymore. That's it.
