Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Louis-Hébert for his very clear speech on an issue that is so personal for many of us.
Almost everyone here in the House who is participating in this debate has similar stories from their own lives.
In my case, my grandmother was no longer able to teach downhill skiing at the end of her life. After teaching it for nearly 70 years, she started falling, until her injuries were too serious for her to survive them.
I do not think this came under the canopy of medical assistance in dying or assisted suicide. I find that circumstance unacceptable. We need to fix this lack of dignity.
Is my colleague worried about the legal vacuum that would exist if this bill is not passed within the prescribed time frame?
