I think it is not Carter compliant. As a couple of examples, it doesn't include euthanasia, which is clearly in Carter, and it doesn't include terminal illness, which is not precluded by Carter.
It's not charter compliant. Think about the disclosure of personal information about a patient to their family without their consent. That's a privacy violation.
It's not consistent on autonomy. You have 45 days. You have to schedule 10 people together. You have an oral hearing, which can be triggered by a third party who has nothing to do with the case. You have to bring a very sick, suffering person in front of the oral hearing. I think that's absolutely contrary to Morgentaler. A 10-person panel and 45 days is nothing like what got struck down in Morgentaler.
It's not division-of-powers compliant either, because it tells the public trustee to do certain things, and the federal government does not have the power to tell provincial-territorial public trustees what to do.
Finally, I think it's profoundly stigmatizing to put physician-assisted death in the section of the Criminal Code headed mental disorders and to conflate people who are seeking medically assisted death with people who have been accused or convicted of a crime and who have been found to be so severely mentally incapacitated that they are not criminally responsible. That's what's at the heart of this piece of legislation, and I find that deeply troubling.
