The concern I have about lack of access is principally in relation to institutions that are not allowing MAID because they are religiously based or they are palliative care organizations that have taken the position that no MAID should happen within their walls. That is what I see as the problem. I didn't raise it, because that's a provincial jurisdictional issue, but it is a really serious concern.
The other thing I would note, and this goes to what you're concerned about, is that there are actually people who are disempowered. If they don't know about MAID or they don't feel like they have a lot of power, they aren't going to ask for it; whereas someone like me, someone like everybody on this panel, we're just going to say, “I want this.” You've been out there, saying that for advance requests. We feel empowered to ask and to advocate for ourselves and to access. I think there are people who are disempowered, who aren't getting access.
