Mr. Speaker, the legislation is clear that nothing happens in the blink of an eye. A lot of consideration must be given to the situation of each individual patient. The medical experts engaged must have specific knowledge of whatever particular irremediable condition is being raised. The question of eliminating a 10-day waiting period is not to make it on demand. There are still very significant stipulations and requirements that must be assessed and considered in advance of accepting that it is a case for medical assistance in dying.
In the House of Commons on October 19th, 2020. See this statement in context.
