Sean Fraser Liberal
“People disagree on this issue. This bill gives sick people the right to make their own choices, while still protecting vulnerable people. It is the right way forward.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member is right; not everyone shares the same point of view. That is why we have created options for people living with a permanent and incurable condition. Partners do not necessarily have to share the same perspective, because one person’s choice may differ from another’s. For me, it is essential to create opportunities for everyone to have their own perspective. I know that not everyone is in agreement, but in the face of a lack of consensus, we believe we have found the correct path forward that will offer protections for the vulnerable and agency for the sick.”
