Mr. Speaker, I would agree that people who do not have adequate resources can end up making choices they would not otherwise make. That is not a true expression of autonomy, and it is important to provide that. Providing more and better palliative care and other health care options, whether it is home care or long-term care, to people is part of ensuring they are making an actual choice and not feeling forced into that choice.
I would agree that improvements can be made to the bill. For instance, the fact that data collection on assisted deaths is left to regulation is problematic. It is important to try to get a proper reporting of this so we can have a meaningful review of the legislation after some time. There are definitely details in the bill, and I named one, that could be improved at committee.
