Mr. Speaker, I will go back to the Carter decision, which said that consent is at the centre of MAID, and the autonomy of the human being to make that decision. A person cannot change their mind anymore after they become incapable. Somebody else has to make that decision for them, and that undermines the autonomy of that person and undermines the very central principle of consent to receiving MAID. That is why I object to it.
