Madam Speaker, the Carter ruling is quite clear in the need to acknowledge both the charter rights of patients in choosing their end-of-life care and the charter rights of medical practitioners. I do not believe that the bill has adequately done that. It will leave it to the provinces and medical associations, and I feel this is an abdication of our responsibility as parliamentarians.
