Mr. Speaker, I am afraid I disagree with the general tone of the approach taken by the hon. member. These changes are much-needed to respond to not only court decisions, but analyses of our charter rights to ensure that Canadians are not taking their own lives or finding the opportunity for medical assistance in dying prematurely, out of fear that they will be unable to give consent under the strictures of our current legislation.
I ask the hon. member, as well as those in the Conservative benches who think this is being rushed, how he suggests we deal with the fact that the courts in Quebec have ruled in Truchon that the law, as it currently exists, will be suspended March 11.
