Justice committee  Yes, the cases that were brought to the Supreme Court by Professor Montero were considered by the Supreme Court, but were put aside because the Supreme Court basically argued that they were not dealing in their decision with people suffering from psychiatric disorders. They basically sent the message that they were not dealing with that particular category of people who might ask for physician-assisted dying.

Justice committee  I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to share a few thoughts on this important topic, one that affects each and every Canadian. My submission is informed by research and teaching in health and bioethics, including end-of-life law, informed consent, and professional regulation in health-based discrimination law.
