00:00:00.000 Minister, there are no legislative safeguards.
00:00:02.940 Well, you can say that.
00:00:04.160 No, you haven't cited one.
00:00:06.280 You haven't cited any, and you haven't responded to the fact that 78% of Ontario psychiatrists
00:00:11.840 believe that whatever so-called safeguards that will be in place are completely insufficient.
00:00:17.720 We're talking about wrongful deaths when there's an inappropriate application of mate.
00:00:23.760 That's what we're talking about.
00:00:24.560 So we're talking here and see in this legislation.
00:00:27.240 What you've demonstrated has been your ideological and your reckless.
00:00:31.340 First of all, I'm just going to say I reject that.
00:00:33.500 You're playing with people's lies.
00:00:34.420 I reject that.
00:00:35.620 It's absolutely disgraceful.
00:00:37.980 No, what is disgraceful is mischaracterizing my position or mischaracterizing the position
00:00:42.500 of any member of Parliament, sir.
00:00:44.180 Saying that any member of Parliament doesn't care about any human life is a disgraceful
00:00:48.040 thing that I will not tolerate.
00:00:49.580 And for you to step into this committee and make an accusation of any member of Parliament
00:00:53.960 that they do not care about the life of another human being is absolutely beyond reproach,
00:00:59.260 sir.
00:00:59.760 I have spent my entire life, as you have, fighting for the good in this world.
00:01:04.380 And for you to accuse a good person of not caring about human life, shame on you.
00:01:09.200 Shame on you.
00:01:10.060 Shame on you.
