Uqaqtittiji, I would like to thank the member for his thoughtful intervention. This is indeed a difficult debate because we are talking about something that is inevitable for all of us. The difference is ending suffering and how some people have the privilege to die with dignity while others have no choice but to feel like ending their lives through suicide. This is a very difficult question or debate. We want to talk about ensuring practice standards that meet everyone's needs, so mental health issues are addressed and people with mental illnesses also get the help they need. Given his experience with someone with mental illness, could the member talk about how this kind of discussion needs to be opened up in the next year?
