Mr. Speaker, we all know that medical assistance in dying is a difficult, deeply personal choice that families and individuals are confronted with at extremely difficult moments in their lives. We know that, as a government and a Parliament, we have a responsibility to ensure that vulnerable people are protected, but also to respect the choices and rights of people who want to use MAID. We will keep having these conversations, including with the Government of Quebec, to find the right path to take for everyone.

  • Re: Bill C-62 
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Partnership with provinces, including Quebec, is extremely important in order for the legislation around MAID to be applied properly. As we know, delivery of health care is a provincial responsibility. It is really important that our provinces have all the tools and the time necessary to administer MAID in an appropriate manner. That is why the work that is happening around setting of curriculum, training and the tools that regulatory bodies need to ensure that the training and curriculum is being met, as well as that the safeguards are being complied with, is important. This is also why the three-year extension under Bill C-62 is absolutely necessary.
