Mr. Speaker, the Supreme Court has been clear. It has set for us a deadline of June 6 to pass legislation. This is not a matter of whether medical assistance in dying is to be legal; it is to establish a framework.
I am concerned that should we go forward there will be a vacuum in which there is no regulation. We must act. The Supreme Court has given us an extension of time. We have the time in which to do it. I know it may seem that we are a bit rushed, but we are willing to work extra hard on the justice committee to ensure it gets back to this place in the appropriate amount of time. However, it is imperative that we get this work completed, and get it to the other place so that vacuum does not exist.
