That would definitely be great.
The thing is, this is already happening. Maybe it's not with physician-assisted dying, but it's already happening in health care in general in New Zealand. They're recognized. They work alongside physicians and nurse practitioners, and they are as recognized as any other medical professional. I think Canada really needs to consider this.
In this particular instance, with this very sensitive issue, I think they would be most welcome. I think they would definitely enhance any kind of experience by indigenous people. Right now, even in end-of-life palliative care, we're getting to the point where most hospitals will at least allow an elder or a traditional healer to come in at end of life. It's not happening in every hospital, but it's happening in most. We're starting to get to that point where maybe they're not working alongside physicians but they're being recognized. I think we have to get to that point and that doing so would be highly recommended..
