Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to welcome all the new members to this important committee. It's a committee that's very emotional, as you can see. What I find very important is that in the past, all parties have worked together in supporting our men and women who have served and who continue to serve. I thank you for being on this very important committee.
I would like to start my questions with the deputy.
Paul, it's nice to see you and Steven back here with us, of course, in support and to share some of the information that we are looking for.
Deputy, when I heard the news about the discussion about medical assistance in dying with an agent, a lot of emotions went through me. I'm just wondering how you felt when you heard that and if you want to share some of your thoughts around that.
