Justice committee  Thank you very much for the opportunity, Madam Chair and Mr. Garrison. Sorry for the technical difficulties. Perhaps I could just conclude on a couple of points. Dying with Dignity Canada is concerned about the express exclusion from Bill C-7 of those with mental illness and believes this exclusion to be stigmatizing, discriminatory and likely unconstitutional.

Justice committee  Yes, sorry for the technical difficulties. We very much believe that the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec took the appropriate action not to appeal the Truchon decision. We believe, as Ms. Long has said, that the response contained in Bill C-7 is the appropriate response, and we strongly support it.
