Mr. Speaker, my understanding of the way it is intended to work is that if someone does request assisted dying, the cause of death would be listed as the pre-existing condition as opposed to assisted suicide. Therefore, I agree that this will cover up the tracks of how often this is happening. All of the countries that have implemented legislation like this began with good intent and good process. However, people were not following the rigour, so the data tracking was difficult. Eventually, they opened it very wide, which is my concern with this legislation.
