We did hear from some stakeholders who said that until every homeless person has a home, they can't make a competent decision to choose between physician-assisted dying and palliative care. Again, we're not going to be able to solve the homelessness problem—and I wish we could—before June. We have to move forward.
Every day, physicians see patients who fight with their families about what they want at the end of life. Are you wanting mom to stay on that machine just because you can't let her go? I've seen families who don't want to let them go because there is a disability cheque coming into the house. How sad is that? Every day, physicians see these situations and have to make decisions, and we think they can do it in this case too.
