Mr. Speaker, I know my colleague's work on this issue. The reflection period is one of the amendments in front of us to vote on. It is important for members to understand the reflection period can already be waived in certain circumstance. For any argument that the reflection period might not be appropriate in certain circumstance, it can already be waived. However, the reflection period creates a default, a sense that we should not have same-day death.
A person may be experiencing an extensive set of challenges on a particular day that may be very real but very transient. The reflection period is designed to ensure that the choice people make reflects considered exercise of autonomy over time, not a momentary place of darkness.
