Mr. Speaker, it is not either-or, but it is absolutely the case that we need to do far more. The provision of health care is provincial, but the federal government has responsibilities under the Canada Health Act and there is, of course, federal-provincial cost-sharing around health care.
We should make it a priority that we improve access to palliative care across Canada. I completely agree. I resist when I hear some of my hon. colleagues suggesting that the government has a preference for pushing people toward medical assistance in dying. That is not the case. That needs to be understood. We need both.
