Justice committee  I could provide copies here, but the concluding sentence to the letter signed by the president of the Canadian Medical Association is, “To that end, the CMA urges the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to support the enactment of Bill S-201 with no amendment.”

Justice committee  Absolutely. I do have that information; I'm just looking for it.

Justice committee  Thank you. I'm referring now to evidence that Professor Ryder gave to the Senate committee when he addressed this point. By way of a preamble, he referred to section 91(27) of the Constitution, which confers on Parliament the exclusive jurisdiction to pass laws in relation to c

Justice committee  Might I add just one comment?

Justice committee  We'd be happy to provide copies of the materials—we provided this to the minister before of course, and it was provided to the Senate committee—and the sense you get from the letters is the provinces are looking at their human rights codes and their labour codes, assuming that th

Justice committee  I would be happy to provide to the committee a survey that my office has....

Physician-Assisted Dying committee  Thank you. Thank you for being here, and thank you for the work you've done. I want to return briefly to the question that Mr. Rankin asked you earlier with regard to the proposition that Professor Hogg put to us yesterday.

Physician-Assisted Dying committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for your evidence today. I wanted to follow up on the same point.
