Madam Speaker, I believe Bill C-7 raises an important question around consent at the final moment. As I said from the very personal story of my friend, I got a picture of how this works in real life.
We can talk about the court decisions, but today I was hoping to introduce the reality of the family and friends of those who are facing unbearable suffering at the end of life and who are really looking to us to make the improvements they are calling for, to make sure we do not unnecessarily prolong suffering and that we do not unnecessarily inflict it on the families of those patients.
