Jenny Kwan on Medical Assistance in Dying Safeguards Act

Mr. Speaker, I think the important issue here is this. At the nub of the issue, what I want to see is for the government to step up in providing the necessary supports for people who face difficulties and people who have mental health challenges, all the way from early diagnosis to prevention to treatment. That is not happening right now across the country, and most certainly is not happening in British Columbia and in Vancouver East. That was the case when the Conservatives were in government, and it is the case now with the Liberals in government, so I would say to everybody, step it up for the community so that people are not faced with impossible choices and decisions.
