"We are committed to developing an approach that is based on empathy and strikes the best balance among a range of interests. The Committee''s work positions us to achieve the best possible solution for Canada on this complex social and legal issue that must be addressed in a timely manner.
"We appreciate the diligent work that the members of this independent, multi-party Committee undertook over the past weeks, consulting with experts, stakeholders and Canadians. The Committee also reviewed the recent reports by both the federal and provincial External Panels on Options for a Legislative Response to Carter v. Canada, before drafting their report on this highly complex issue.

It is important that we protect people''s choices and freedoms in a way that makes sure our society protects the most vulnerable. In the coming weeks, the government will bring forward its response to the Supreme Court of Canada''s decision in the Carter case."
