Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her question.
We are talking at length about medical assistance in dying, but the need for palliative care is also great. I used to provide support for people who were dying and suffering. We need palliative care so that people who wish to continue living despite the illness consuming them can live in a supportive environment where they are properly cared for and find relief from their illnesses.
Some of them want to live more than anything, whereas others want to die. We have to look at both sides of the coin. We should have this debate because it is not a partisan debate but rather a societal debate.
