Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech, and especially the bits in French. However, I am still amazed to learn that during the course of this debate, which is not that old, the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying agreed on recommendations. These recommendations are found in the Bloc Québécois amendment we are debating today. I believe this amendment is very simple. It mentions that the bill “take into account provincial medical assistance in dying frameworks for advance requests from persons who have an illness that could deprive them of the capacity to consent to care”. I think this is just common sense. Can we not vote on this amendment first and then make some progress so that people who need it can have access to medical assistance in dying in a free and informed manner?
