Mr. Pelletier, if I may, I would like to begin by congratulating you on the excellent work you did last year, free of charge.
I know that the Liberal government has removed from the committee's mandate the requirement to present legislative options to the Carter decision.
Yesterday morning, we heard from Jean-Pierre Ménard, who suggested that we respond to the Supreme Court's request in two steps.
The first step would consist in amending sections 241 and 14 of the Criminal Code to make them consistent with the new requirements related to physician-assisted dying.
The second step would consist in implementing a detailed Canada-wide process to give the provinces and territories the time to legislate on all other aspects of physician-assisted dying. Mr. Ménard also said that those other issues often come under provincial and territorial jurisdiction.
What do you think about Jean-Pierre Ménard's suggestion?
