Mr. Speaker, media seekers have recently jumped on the euthanasia issue with little regard for the risks down the road.
In my riding the non-partisan public advisory group which has a direct say through me in all issues has overwhelmingly said no to legalizing euthanasia. The same response was expressed by a vast majority of people attending our recent town hall meeting in Aldergrove, British Columbia.
However sometimes we need to listen to children to bring us back to reality.
In the words of nine-year old Dustin Chadsey of Clearbrook, B.C.: "I don't think people should be able to kill each other or themselves. Only God can decide if we live or die".
Before the media seekers do more damage, I urge all members to ask all their constituents their opinions on this important issue.
