That's a personal opinion, but I think I can also speak on behalf of the CPS. That is exactly what we're saying. It's absolutely premature that we would expect that children should be able to ask to end their lives when we have completely inadequate national palliative care services available for children. Just for the record, there are fewer than 20 full-time physicians in Canada who are providing specialized palliative care services to children, and very many front-line community health professionals, be it family doctors or home care nurses, are completely devoid of any training or experience in caring for children with life-limiting illnesses.
