Yes, the proposal which we will leave behind was one that we discussed at length with the Canadian Medical Association, and which they have approved. It basically shows the physicians articulating their conscience issue around assisted suicide and euthanasia with the patient, having the dialogue and discussion with the patient, giving the patient information about all viable options, but then simply stepping back from the process and allowing the patient to have direct access to an assessment for assisted death. Our hope would be that either the federal government or the provincial governments would create an information referral service so that after patients have had the discussion with their own doctor, they are able to access that directly. We've checked that out with moral theologians, both on the evangelical and Roman Catholic side, and they find it morally acceptable. This seems to us to be a way for our physicians to continue to care for the patient, not affect the physician-patient relationship, and also allow the patient to make their decisions without there being any obstruction from the physician.
