Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Long, we know that there are cases pending and legal proceedings involving people with mental illness who want medical assistance in dying. By deciding not to expand access to it, or at least to continue the discussion, we're basically giving patients the burden of having the legislation clarified. I find this quite unfair.
Do you think that we could ask the Supreme Court whether, in its opinion, discrimination against people with a mental illness when it comes to access to medical assistance in dying respects the spirit of the charter?
Before making a decision on whether the sunset clause should continue, do you think that we should ask the Supreme Court for its opinion?
