Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
The NDP will also support this bill so it can be referred to committee for study in order to improve it and perhaps correct some of its flaws.
I am personally concerned about the issue of people dealing with degenerative illnesses that affect not the body but rather the spirit or intellect, such as Alzheimer's.
Why would it not be possible for a bill such as this one to provide for the possibility of drafting an advance directive, together with the medical staff, which could be renewed every six months in the case of someone who has already been diagnosed with Alzheimer's?
