Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague. I do not agree with her principles at all. She said that it was an easy choice. Medical assistance in dying is not an easy choice. On the contrary, it is a question of dignity. For the past five years, the Bloc Québécois has been participating in consultations on medical assistance in dying. It is a right to die with dignity, of one's free will and with the least possible amount of suffering. Therefore, I disagree. When people say they want to support very ill individuals, support might mean offering them assistance in dying while surrounded by their loved ones.
