Madam Speaker, I very much appreciate the commentary that I have heard from my colleagues about this very significant issue today.
One of the things I remember doing in a past life is working with doctors on “do not resuscitate” orders. It became very difficult for doctors, whose oath it is to save lives, to have this type of discussion. They would do anything to get out of a “do not resuscitate” order. They did not want to touch it or undo it, because they were ending up with all sorts of complications with family members and relatives. All sorts of different things would happen with this type of situation.
Does my hon. colleague feel the legislation would protect mental health with what is basically a “do not resuscitate” order in a different language?
