Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for their patience.
Dr. Koivu, I listened carefully to your opening statement. When we look at patients—you described a couple of them—we're really not offering them any therapy other than opioid therapy. Perhaps there are other things in addition to that.
For the sake of those listening at home, we all know that people who take opioids will eventually get habituated or used to the dose they're on and will require escalating doses. If that's the kind of medicine we're going to provide, is it not fair to say that we're providing these folks with palliative care?
