Moving on to the terminology of “reasonably foreseeable death” in the bill, that would be for someone who perhaps does not have a terminal illness, but their death is reasonably foreseeable on their current trajectory. Can you help me understand how a medical practitioner would be able to know if that person qualifies under the current bill? Is there any concern that if, for example, a lawyer were going to give advice to a medical practitioner regarding the current state of the bill, they may be very reluctant to say that it's okay and that a medical practitioner was on safe ground here? My worry would be that you would see a lack of access because there may be medical practitioners who might be unclear on the state of the law without our specifying more clearly what “reasonably foreseeable death” means. Could you comment on that, please?
