Madam Speaker, the hon. member's question reflects something that I think is very important, which is that when concerns by a community are raised they be fully explored and fully considered, not just dismissed out of hand, regardless of what our own personal opinions are on those concerns. The place I believe we should do that is in the broader review conducted by the House that I suggested in the motion I tabled today. I want us to hear from the disabled community and its advocates and to think carefully about the issues they are raising. I want to make sure the safeguards we have in place to prevent vulnerable people from being pressured into selecting medical assistance in dying are actually adequate.
