Madam Speaker, I would like to first thank my colleague for his comments, which will make us carefully reflect on Bill C-14.
We should reflect on what is at the very heart of the debate on the Carter case and the Supreme Court decision. In one passage of the Supreme Court ruling in Carter, the justices state that the current Criminal Code provisions at the very core of the Carter case protect the vulnerable to such an extent that they constitute almost an absolute protection, which is prejudicial to some Canadians who are not vulnerable and would like to have access to medical assistance in dying.
I would like to hear what my colleague thinks of the Supreme Court's view as it relates to the current bill.
What are his thoughts on people who are not vulnerable as defined by the Supreme Court and how this is reflected in the bill?
