Elle a re\u00e7u de l&#8217;Assembl\u00e9e nationale le mandat d&#8217;assurer la promotion et le respect de l&#8217;ensemble des droits reconnus dans la charte. C&#8217;est dans le cadre de ce mandat que la commission proc\u00e8de \u00e0 l&#8217;examen des textes l\u00e9gislatifs, afin d&#8217;en v\u00e9rifier la conformit\u00e9 aux principes contenus dans la charte et qu&#8217;elle fait les recommandations qui s&#8217;imposent le cas \u00e9ch\u00e9ant.

She has received the National Assembly&#8217;s mandate to ensure the promotion and respect of all the rights recognized in the Charter. It is under this mandate that the Commission is reviewing the legislation, to ensure compliance with the principles contained in the Charter and it makes recommendations as appropriate as required. Pursuance of this duty, we are pleased to participate in the Board of Health and Social Services, devoted to the study of Bill No. 52.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Comme vous l&#8217;avez constat\u00e9, ce projet de loi soul\u00e8ve des questions extr\u00eamement difficiles, des enjeux d\u00e9licats et il n&#8217;est pas exag\u00e9r\u00e9 d&#8217;affirmer que la probl\u00e9matique des droits et libert\u00e9s demeure au c\u0153ur des d\u00e9bats entourant son adoption. C&#8217;est donc uniquement en regard des droits et libert\u00e9s de la personne et non de l&#8217;acceptabilit\u00e9 sociale des mesures propos\u00e9es que la commission a analys\u00e9 le projet de loi et partage ses r\u00e9flexions avec votre commission aujourd&#8217;hui.<\/td>\n<td>004<\/td>\n<td>As you noted, this bill raises extremely difficult questions, sensitive issues and it is not exaggeration to say that the issue of rights and freedoms remains at the heart of the debates surrounding its adoption.

Elle y voit certes une fa\u00e7on de combler l&#8217;\u00e9cart entre les besoins de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et le cadre l\u00e9gislatif actuellement en vigueur. Ce projet de loi est le fruit d&#8217;un important travail r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en coll\u00e9gialit\u00e9 et en dehors de tout esprit partisan, ce qui lui conf\u00e8re une plus value certaine. La commission est d&#8217;accord avec ce qu&#8217;elle per\u00e7oit comme les deux grandes avanc\u00e9es propos\u00e9es par le projet de loi n\u00b0 52, soit l&#8217;encadrement de la s\u00e9dation palliative terminale et l&#8217;introduction de l&#8217;aide m\u00e9dicale \u00e0 mourir.

While she sees a way to bridge the gap between the needs of society and the legal framework currently in force. This bill is the result of an important work collegially and beyond partisanship, which gives him a certain value. The Committee agrees with what it perceives as the two major advances proposed by Bill No. 52 or the frame of the terminal palliative sedation and the introduction of physician assisted dying. It also endorsed the principle on which, among others, the availability of medical assistance to die.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consciencelaws.org\/background\/\/procedures\/assist009-031.aspx\"><strong>Full Translation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacques Fremont,\u00a0 Ren\u00e9e Dupuis, Daniel Carpentier, Marie Carpentier Friday, 4 October 2013 &#8211;
