I'll put the member's mind at ease.
We drafted an amendment, a compromise, if you will.
We heard of four cases in which veterans were offered medical assistance in dying, but again, we don't have anything concrete. That is not to minimize the situation whatsoever. I really don't want to cast aspersions on the four individuals who raised the issue, but we have nothing concrete. We couldn't have the courts hear any of these cases, so that's why I'm a bit in the middle.
The committee has a host of topics to examine. At a certain point, we have to prioritize some issues and drop others. That is not to minimize the four—potentially eight—cases, but we don't have anything concrete at this time.
We asked for an extension, and if anyone wants to come forward, the door is wide open. I think people understand that the committee can discuss these issues in camera, so that their names are not revealed, if they want to stay anonymous. There are definitely ways of doing things to keep all of this strictly confidential. That is why we are spending longer on this study than initially planned, and we may be surprised, but so far, nothing.
I have an amendment to propose. I assume you and the clerk received it, Mr. Chair.
