Madam Speaker, the hon. member mentioned that much debate went on regarding euthanasia back in 2016, which obviously led to the current safeguards. Unfortunately, there has been absolutely no significant enforcement against infractions. The safeguards are regularly ignored. I have an example from the town hall that I held.
A constituent in my riding had a personal experience. A young married father with children was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and had 12 months to live. He suffered depression, went to a psychiatrist and the psychiatrist offered him MAID. He immediately stopped going to that psychiatrist.
I would like to know why would we loosen the safeguards, which are clearly not working in the first place and seem to be completely impossible to enforce?
