Mr. Speaker, it is supportable, particularly at second reading. The Council of Canadian Academies identified three kinds of advance requests. One is as in the case of Audrey Parker, which I mentioned, where someone not only is diagnosed but is already suffering intolerably. This bill would address that issue, and I am glad that it would.
The second issue, which I think is easy to address and has been recommended up and down by every expert who has looked at this, is when one has already been diagnosed but is not yet subject to intolerable suffering. We ought to provide an advance request for that as well. We could address it with sunset clauses if folks are concerned.
The third issue is when someone has not yet been diagnosed. I would argue that we could probably get there, but I think, at a minimum, we should address the second advance request where someone has already been diagnosed, but is not yet suffering intolerably. That would have been a relatively straightforward one to address. Given the time period we have had, especially in the course of COVID, I wish this had been better addressed in this bill, as well.
