Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
I understand my colleague's points, and I have often heard him use those words in the media in the past few weeks. What Canadians need to know is that the point my colleague raised is one of the four criteria required for access to medical assistance in dying. It is important to explain to Canadians that there is not just one criterion for obtaining medical assistance in dying, but four.
I will take this opportunity to remind my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent about what he said this morning in response to a question from our colleague opposite. I was so sad to hear it. According to the member from Louis-Saint-Laurent, cases like Mr. Truchon's, which I talked about just now, are unintended consequences. That is what he said in response to my colleague.
I want the member to know that I really disagree with him. I invite him to talk to Mr. Truchon's parents. He will see that Mr. Truchon and his family are altogether remarkable and are not trying to abuse the system in the way that the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent suggested this morning.
