Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for this question and thank the Bloc Québécois for its support.
The notion of advance consent was put into this bill because it was necessary to accommodate Audrey Parker's request, which was covered extensively by Canadian media.
We must maintain an individual's autonomy and respect their choice, but also avoid prolonging their suffering or making a decision that would lead to premature death.
In English terms, it is the notion of not having someone accelerate and go to their death prematurely, simply because they had to wait for the ability to provide that final consent. That is the reason why we decided to insert it as consenting to the regime.
