Madam Speaker, I am pleased to use my time to heartily congratulate my colleague from Montcalm. He has a level of knowledge and expertise that should make the minister envious. The Bloc Québécois believes that the member for Montcalm understands the issue 100%. He understands it in a much more tangible and practical way than the Minister of Health does, which is a shame.
We are hearing all sorts of things about advance requests that I believe are myths. I agree with my colleague that it is a lack of courage on the government's part that is keeping it from swiftly passing legislation that would allow patients in Quebec to choose when they can die with dignity.
My question is very specific. Is it true that anyone can make an advance request at any time and have it granted? According to the people here, it is a slippery slope and everyone could be granted one easily. This is a myth that is circulating among the opposition members. I think that the member for Montcalm has a good answer for them.
