I’m not in a position to say that that lady, Karen Lander, a few years ago the outcome would have been different in her particular circumstances, but what I can say is it might have been a different situation that led to those circumstances. Whether it would have come up with the same end, I don’t know. But I can tell you that if we consider it ourselves for a very quick moment, that if we made a small amendment to the act that it could be varied, many Ministers have the authority to vary certain decisions and this could be certainly one of them. This could be a real opportunity if the legislation isn’t ready in May.
I ask the Minister to reconsider this opportunity, because this is not just helping us, it’s helping hundreds of people. The fact is one in five Canadians suffer from this. If I just took the MLAs alone, that could mean four of the MLAs in this room, and Ministers that is, could be suffering from a mental illness. It’s that close and personal to us.
