Madam Speaker, I have three things to say about my colleague's heartfelt speech.
First, on the issue of improving the quality of life of people with disabilities, it is important to remember that disability is social and impairment is individual. In that sense, we have a responsibility to improve the quality of life of these people socially. That is why we made recommendation 10. However, if it had been said that people with disabilities do not have the right to medical assistance in dying, that would have been discrimination. I hope my colleague agrees with me on that. These are two totally different issues.
We need to make sure that even when people request MAID because their quality of life is diminished and their social autonomy is affected, this does not mean that their request for MAID will be approved, contrary to what my Conservative colleague thinks.
Furthermore, on the issue of freedom of choice, it is important to remember here that, even if a person lives to the end of their days, that is what they have chosen. Freedom of choice is part of every instance of medical assistance in dying. People who have doubts and are anxious about making an advance request do not have to fill out a form. They can make a free and informed choice because it is the role of the government to preserve that free and informed choice.
