Madam Speaker, that is a rather accurate summary of what happened in committee. The government decided to include in legislation the committee's main recommendation on mental disorders. My colleague sat on the committee that produced the report tabled in February 2023, which recommended allowing advance requests. Why has his government not introduced a section on advance requests after a year of waiting? I think that would have been good for people who are currently suffering and who cannot make an advance request. Why is this not included in Bill C‑62?

Mr. Speaker, when members talk, they should at least have a basic knowledge of the medical context, of what is happening on the ground. Unfortunately, it is pretty clear that we do not all have the same basic knowledge. I therefore cannot answer my colleague. Does he even know what an advance request is? I hear them talking about euthanasia. We are not talking about the same thing. We need to be on the same planet to have a dialogue. I think we need to look at this in committee. At the same time, given that Quebec is ready, we need to be allowed to do as we see fit. All the Conservatives have to do is mind their own business. When they form government 10 years from now, they will say no. As for us, we will be free.
