Madam Speaker, as I outlined in my speech, the options afforded to us as parliamentarians with regard to a Supreme Court ruling are many. The government has chosen to respond with this bill and I do not feel that the government has responded adequately in terms of providing a concurrent framework on palliative care outlining how. For example, the Liberals talked about studying an expansion of the Carter ruling in terms of situations in which physician-assisted dying would occur.
I believe it is incumbent upon the government to clearly communicate this prior to a vote happening in the House of Commons. I do not think it has done that to date. I certainly think there is a little more work to do on this before it is an adequate response to the Carter ruling.
