Mr. Speaker, my colleague has done incredible work at the health committee and the AMAD committee. I really appreciate him for that. I hope that some day we will have an opportunity so that those with the sole underlying medical condition of mental disorder will have the ability to make that decision. However, we are so far away from parity, given that consecutive Liberal and Conservative federal governments have not prioritized mental health. We are also far behind other countries, including U.K. and France, when it comes to delivering parity with our mental and physical health care systems, and that needs to be addressed. With respect to the member's other question, absolutely I support that. The AMAD committee needs to put its next focus and amount of work around advance directives.
