Madam Speaker, when Bill C-14 was introduced in the previous Parliament, the decision was made to not include advance directives. I think that was purposeful. Had we been allowed to deal with the issues that the Truchon case identified and keep all of these other issues in mind for the statutory review that is being contemplated, it would have allowed us far more time to look at the legislation, see what was and was not working and have a timely and comprehensive study of Bill C-14.
