Madam Speaker,
There once was a palliative care bill
For those who were terminally ill
It determined the plan,
For Canada and
The services it would fulfill.
It talked about training for all
Who provide care for those big and small
The data we need
For the research we lead
To ensure that we're right on the ball.
The elements of palliative care
At home, hospice, and everywhere
Will be standard we boast
In this land coast to coast
With the specialists needed so rare.
The Minister of Health has implied
That three billion be applied
To home and palliative care
So that people will dare
To live well long before they have died.
So support C-277 today
My PMB's coming your way
In November 3rd week
Your approval I'll seek
And together we will save the day.
For Canadians want to have choice
To live or to die, give them voice
And we'll humanely give
A good way they can live
And end their days full of great joys.
