Mr. Speaker, with regard to timing, I was very disappointed that this decision came out on September 11, the day the last election was called. The government was given one month to appeal this decision in the middle of an election campaign. I do not believe that this gave Parliament an ample opportunity to review the bill outside of a very politically charged period to decide whether this decision should have been appealed to the Supreme Court, which was the court that created legalized assisted dying in this country.
I believe the Supreme Court has something to say on this matter, and we failed by not getting the Supreme Court to weigh in on it.
