Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to represent the good people of Steveston. My riding also includes an area of Richmond East that is populated with a lot of good citizens, so it is important to actually mention the full name of Steveston—Richmond East.
In matters of life and death, as I mentioned in my speech, I think it is prudent for any government to provide as much protection as it can, especially for vulnerable citizens of the population. With a decision like MAID where there is no reversal, it is even more important that people make that decision under careful consideration, consultation and discussion with families and medical professionals, so that they understand its implications.
Therefore, I think that it would not be unreasonable to reintroduce the 10-day period of reflection or even a longer reflection period for those who do not have a reasonably foreseeable condition.
