Mr. Speaker, as a follow-up to my previous question, to put a finer point on it, the current policy of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is to require referral if something falls within the standard of care, or in an emergency or urgent situation, to actually require the provision of that service. This is not something that can wait for further consultation, because if this legislation passes, then right after June 6, or whenever this would take effect, it would be required in Ontario for physicians to either refer or potentially to provide this service.
If the member accepts the value of protecting conscience, recognizing that this could be the reality and the outcome in her riding once this legislation passes, would she not support immediate changes to this legislation which formally and directly would ensure the protection of conscience in that legislation?
