Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for his question and for his advocacy on behalf of the matter of palliative care.
Yesterday in this House, we were pleased to present new legislation which will address the needs of Canadians at the end of their lives.
We acknowledged in our communications yesterday that Canada has a long way to go in making sure that all Canadians have access to high quality care at the end of life, including palliative care.
I am determined to work with my colleagues in the provinces and territories. We are determined to make the investments necessary to make sure that all Canadians have access to the care that they need at the end of their lives.
