Madam Speaker, I would simply respond to the hon. member by asking this question: Why would we rush a decision of great consequence, which will have huge ramifications, when we are hearing powerful testimonies like that of Roger Foley, who felt pressured in this situation and that he was being encouraged to take that step?
It is time that we hit pause and reflect, because these are very serious matters. These people deserve to have all of their perspectives heard. I would think the hon. member would certainly consider the testimony heard at committee from someone like Ms. Carr, who represents many Canadians living with disabilities. She expressed grave concerns. I am sure he would agree that these concerns need to be heard.
If great Canadian citizens, who are right there in some of the most affected communities, are saying there is an alarm bell and they have grave concerns with this bill, should we not pause and reflect based on that kind of testimony?
