I understand why people support this bill - because they want to relieve suffering and offer dignity at the end of life. But I have deep concerns. Creating a strict legal framework for assisted dying risks missing the unique and deeply personal circumstances each person faces.

Rather than legislate in this area, I believe our focus should be on making sure every person in this country has access to world-class palliative care.
For these reasons, I cannot support the bill. But I remain committed to listening, to learning, and to fighting for better care and compassion for everyone at life’s end.
