  • Re: Bill C-39 
Madam Speaker, we are living in a time when Canadians have lost trust in our institutions, whether it is the government, whether it is media, whether it is even the medical profession. We need to rebuild that trust. Canadians need to believe in their country and what it stands for. This bill that we are passing, hopefully, would just delay a very bad idea. Could my colleague comment on why we really have to stop and re-evaluate? He said in his speech that he never even thought this would go to mental health. The original justice minister who put this forward was against it. Why do we have to rebuild this trust? Why is it so important that we speak out against this?

Madam Speaker, my colleague from Tobique—Mactaquac gave a very heartfelt speech. He has followed this closely. If all of us in this House remember, when this bill was originally put forward, it was supposed to be very narrowly cast. One of the trade-offs was that the government was going to be putting in supports for palliative care for mental health. Sadly, we have not seen those investments. Even the original justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, was not in support of extending this to people with mental illness. The member mentioned at the beginning of his speech that sometimes countries have to make a decision on how they want to be perceived in their heart and soul. Why is it so important right now that we make a stand to not continue down this slippery slope? Canadians are going through a horrible time and need that support. What does he recommend at this time in history?
