Mr. Speaker, I have had the opportunity to speak with families, businesses and workers in my riding. They all understand the importance of rising to the challenges of this unique moment and seizing the opportunities before us. They understand that being “masters in our own home” means building a better future, that being “masters in our own home” means a stronger and more resilient Canada. With
Mr. Speaker, Quebec has been a model, an example to follow, when it comes to advance requests for MAID. Evidently, the framework we have presented, which I hope will be passed by a strong majority in the House, is a national, general framework. The provinces and territories will need to adapt it as they see fit. We commend Quebec on the work it has done so far, and we are ready to work together

What we have heard in the Bloc Québécois's speeches is that we want to move too fast, that we want to bulldoze our way through this. In reality, we want to get this right, but the Bloc members are also telling us that we are not moving fast enough to pass bills that uphold Quebec's rights. They are
La Prairie—Atateken Mr. Speaker, first and foremost, I would like to thank my colleague fromfor his excellent speech and his commitment to this issue. Since arriving here, he has immersed himself in the issue of medical assistance in dying. Today, we are seeing positive results. Parliament established the Canadian framework for medical assistance in dying in 2016. I was here at the time. Since
Mr. Speaker, this is an extremely controversial issue. It is an issue I have discussed around my kitchen table. It was difficult to reach a consensus between my wife and my three daughters. As the minister has said on several occasions, these were difficult decisions.
