Mr. Speaker, palliative care is an important part of the discussion about end-of-life care. There is no question that it has come up several times in this place and it is important.
I am a little wary of throwing around percentages and numbers. At committee, we heard a lot of different percentages. Perhaps it is that we do not have a fulsome understanding at this moment about what access to palliative care truly is. This needs further examination as well. On the numbers, I am a little concerned about percentages.
From what we heard and read at committee, the jurisdictions that have introduced medical assistance in dying have increased their access to palliative care at the same time as quality of that care.
