\n M. Bernard (Charles) :<\/b> Merci, M. le Pr\u00e9sident. Alors, M. le Pr\u00e9sident, Mme la ministre, Mmes, MM. les parlementaires, alors le Coll\u00e8ge des m\u00e9decins du Qu\u00e9bec vous remercie de lui permettre de vous pr\u00e9senter ses r\u00e9flexions sur le projet de loi n\u00b0 52 concernant les soins de fin de vie, et j’ajouterais que nous sommes honor\u00e9s d’\u00eatre les premiers \u00e0 auditionner devant cette commission en cette journ\u00e9e de rentr\u00e9e parlementaire, alors on vous en remercie.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n Thank you, Mr. President. So, Mr. President, Madam Minister, Mrs, Mr. parliamentarians, while the College of Physicians of Quebec thank you for allowing him to present his thoughts on Bill No. 52 on the end-of-life, and I would add that we are honored to be the first to audition before the Committee on this day parliamentary session, so we thank you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n Alors, ce projet de loi constitue, \u00e0 nos yeux, un jalon tr\u00e8s important dans la r\u00e9flexion sur les soins de vie, et, \u00e0 notre avis, il devrait \u00eatre adopt\u00e9. Amorc\u00e9e en mai 2006 \u00e0 l’occasion de notre assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale annuelle, cette r\u00e9flexion s’est transform\u00e9e en un vaste d\u00e9bat public, \u00e0 l’issu duquel la Commission sp\u00e9ciale sur la question de mourir dans la dignit\u00e9 a remis sont rapport en mars 2012. D’entr\u00e9e de jeu, vous nous permettrez de souligner le travail exceptionnel effectu\u00e9 sur ce sujet extr\u00eamement complexe et sensible par tous les parlementaires, et en particulier le v\u00f4tre, Mme la ministre, vous avez fait preuve d’un respect, d’une qualit\u00e9 d’\u00e9coute, d’une rigueur et d’une compr\u00e9hension des enjeux d’une rare qualit\u00e9, et nous vous en remercions sinc\u00e8rement, cela m\u00e9rite d’\u00eatre soulign\u00e9.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n So this bill is, in our view, a very important milestone in thinking about life care, and, in our opinion, should be adopted. Began in May 2006 at our annual general meeting, the discussion turned into a broad public debate, the end of which the Special Committee on Dying with Dignity are handed over in March 2012. From the outset, please allow us to recognize the outstanding work done on this topic extremely complex and sensitive by all parliamentarians, particularly yours, Madam Minister, you have demonstrated compliance, quality listening, rigor and an understanding of the challenges of a rare quality, and we sincerely thank you, it deserves to be highlighted.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
