Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his kind words.
The Quebec law is clear. If the Conservatives want to respect the provinces and provincial jurisdictions, they must align themselves with the Quebec government, within the framework of this law. I do not understand why, sometimes, they claim they are the provinces' closest allies and that they respect jurisdictions and, other times, when it does not suit them, they say that more consultations are needed. The Quebec law is clear.
An advance request for medical aid in dying may only be made by a person who has been diagnosed with a serious and incurable illness leading to incapacity to give consent to care...
The request must be made freely, without external pressure.
There is the health care professional, there is the patient and there is also a third party, a trusted person, with a personal and personalized description of the signs and symptoms that will decide the medical procedure for MAID that will follow. There is a framework for all of it.
I think that at this point, the Conservative Party should respect the Quebec law.
