Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague is well aware that health care is a joint federal and provincial jurisdiction, and as a federal government, we have to work with our partners, the provinces and territories, to pass this legislation and set a framework.
We clearly stated that we are willing to work with our partners to ensure that in Canada our confederation works best for all Canadians, especially on issues such as physician-assisted dying, and that we have the best interests of Canadians at heart.
