Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the debate. Again, I will go on record as saying that I fear we do not have enough time to have a lengthy debate, but I do appreciate the comments from both sides.
My comments are neither for nor against at this point. However, it says informed consent being given, but in the bill itself there is no advance directive. The very people whom the bill could help, such as someone suffering from advanced stages of ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, may not be able to give that consent at the time. Is there not a concern, and how can we rectify this as we move forward?
The deadline is speedily approaching. Does my colleague share the same concerns?
