Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for his speech, and I also want to add my voice in congratulating the members of this House for the tone of the debate this evening on what has been a rather late night.
Like all members of this House, I spent the last week in my riding of York Centre, where I had the opportunity to hear from a number of my constituents on this issue and on this bill. What I heard most was that it strikes a balance. I heard from people across the spectrum, who phoned or came into the office, that it is striking a balance, that there is work to be done, but that they feel this is a solid place to start as we head to the committee phase.
From my point of view, the advance directive provisions, dealing with individuals with mental illness, and many other things still need to be looked at.
I would ask the member what he feels are some of the things that the committee can be examining in this next phase, because I believe that the House should pass the bill and send it to committee.
