Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for her speech.
We all know that this is a sensitive topic. Some believe it should be debated longer so that we have the time to discuss it more thoroughly. Others believe that we need to move more quickly because people are waiting for us to legislate on the issue.
As I was saying, people know that this is a sensitive topic, but I also think that many people do not understand it properly or are intentionally conflating the issues. I am thinking, for example, about suicide, which is often associated with medical assistance in dying. We have also heard about the option of palliative care, which may be inadequate in some regions. That also needs to be looked at.
The minister spoke about the consultations she held with the health care community. What concerns did health care professionals raise regarding the implementation of legislation on medical assistance in dying?
