  • Re: Bill C-39 
Madam Speaker, one thing I have been hearing this evening in some of our debates from my colleagues across the way is that we need to look at this to make sure we take the time to put in place the supports and infrastructure that will be required. That is exactly what this bill would do. It would take the time. Is the member opposite in agreement with extending this one year so that we can take a look at it to ensure the supports are there and the infrastructure is there for medical assistance in dying?

Madam Chair, I thank my hon. colleague for sharing her story. I want to give her an opportunity to elaborate a bit, given the fact that we have had a global pandemic with isolation and a lot of young people did not have the experience of graduating with their class or seeing their classmates. Has this actually increased the likelihood of seeing the supports needed for youth and mental health? Could she elaborate on that?

Madam Chair, I want to thank my fellow military mom for that question. It is pretty hard for me to put a price tag on this, to be honest, because that was the reason I ran in 2015. I was not happy about supports available for veterans. I knew my kids in the service would be taken care of, but God forbid they should need support when they got out. Would it be there? Therefore, I am really a bit biased on this one because, to me, one cannot put a price tag on the supports we need to give those who put their lives on the line for our freedom and the families who support them. I cannot answer that with a dollar figure, because to me one cannot put a price on that.
