I will ask a question of the humanist association. Mr. Ward maintains there is no evidence of a slippery slope. People from the Netherlands were before the committee and I was struck by what they said. They said that people do not want to die but do not want to live in the manner they are living. They told us there has been an increase in the number of people taking their own lives in the Netherlands. Is Mr. Ward maintaining there has been no increase?
