Mr. Speaker, I am not sure what the constitutional right to MAID is that the member across referred to. He wants more time to discover this legislation. The difficulty of course is the concept of irremediability. The Liberal government can take the next thousand years to consider this legislation, but it is clear from experts across this country that the issue of irremediability with respect to mental illness is not going to be resolved. How is he going to resolve that with the voters who are going to send him packing in the next election?

Mr. Speaker, let me address the last part first. I have had the honour and privilege of representing Richmond Hill over the last three terms and am counting on people and my hard work to be able to be re-elected so that I can come back here to continue representing them. Let us leave it at that. What is key is that the issue of irremediability is a very complex issue, and it takes time to understand each case. We need to make sure all the safeguards are put into place to ensure that we do not cause any undue risk and harm.
