Madam Speaker, yes, it is correct that the member and I did serve on the justice committee together during the deliberation and study on Bill C-14.
When we speak about conscience protections, they are fundamentally important. It is important to remember that the Supreme Court of Canada, in the Carter decision, did recognize that Canadians have a right, in certain circumstances, to physician-assisted dying, but at the same time the court expressly stated that no physician should be compelled to provide the procedure. It is important that the Carter decision be respected.
