Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for illuminating, from the heart, what we have been talking about in this debate.
I know he mentioned that his riding has excellent palliative care, but the reality is that across Canada, 70% of people have no access to palliative care. The government unanimously supported my palliative care bill to put a framework in place to get consistent access. Now it has backed down on all its promises to put money behind it so that people would actually have a choice, as the Carter decision outlined.
Could the member describe how he sees the government's response on palliative care?
