Colleagues, we have a quorum. I call the meeting to order.
I want to welcome you to the fifth meeting of the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying.
Tonight we have two panels. In the first panel we will hear from two individuals who were involved in the External Panel on Options for a Legislative Response to Carter v. Canada. We have Mr. Benoît Pelletier, who is a member of the external panel, and we have Mr. Stephen Mihorean, who is the executive director of the secretariat.
This session will end no later than 6:30 p.m. You have 10 minutes for your presentation.
