“I want the minister to explain how this bill will protect vulnerable people with mental illness, including veterans.”
“Mr. Speaker, today I remember a friend of mine, Alex Tsang, who accessed the system three years ago, and it was a very difficult moment for him and his family. I visited with him at his place hours before he went to take the procedure. The question remains in the mind of all Canadians, and that is about justice, when it comes to this important bill that we have been visiting over and over since 2016. I have been here for 11 years. The question to the minister is this: How can we ensure for vulnerable Canadians, veterans and others with mental illness, that this new legislation would provide that justice that they are looking for?”
