Thank you very much.
The external panel, in its report, suggested that Canada has an opportunity to be a world leader in developing an oversight system for physician-assisted dying. Data collection, effective monitoring, and reporting with scientific rigour is one form of safeguarding the integrity of the process. The panel also said that serious consideration and time should be devoted to this objective. It points out that to avoid duplication, there should be collaboration among provinces, territories, and the federal government.
Ms. Hoffman, you suggested in your presentation that Health Canada might have some role to play in this. I'd like to know how you see this kind of oversight in terms of powers and responsibilities. What kind of governance structure should there be?
