Mr. Speaker, if that is true, that the government cares about palliative care, it should have told its members on the justice committee.
This week the justice committee shot down almost all opposition amendments on Bill C-14, including this one, “[that if someone] consulted a medical practitioner regarding palliative care options and were informed of the full range of options”.
Can the minister explain why Liberals shot down a very modest amendment requiring that patients simply be informed about palliative care options?
