Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present two petitions today.
The first petition is related to palliative care. In this petition the petitioners highlight the importance of palliative care. They point out the passage of Bill C-14, the assisted suicide euthanasia bill, and the importance of palliative care being available to every Canadian resident that needs it. They also point out that the person must be able to clearly choose life or death.
The petitioners also point out that palliative care never hastens or prolongs death but makes the person comfortable in the last hours of life.
