Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question and comments. As he said, the report was tabled this afternoon. During discussions at the Special Joint Committee on MAID, we heard from a wide range of partners, associations and people who had concerns. The discussions led us to make the decision to extend the delay for those whose sole medical condition is a mental illness. That way, we will have time to set things up properly and ensure that doctors and nurse practitioners are ready to provide MAID under these conditions. Things must be done properly to respect autonomy and freedom of choice.
