And I&#8217;m joined by Dr. Marcel Boisvert, than most, I think, certainly know, having spent the first time the commission. Dr. Boisvert has made palliative care in infancy, already in the 70s. I think he did not need another presentation that &#8230; He also participated throughout the debate, and that, although even before the association begins.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Je pr\u00e9sente aussi le Dr Georges L&#8217;Esp\u00e9rance, \u00e0 ma gauche.
