I did. Thank you very much.
Mr. Cooper made remarks, Mr. Chair, to the effect that the plaintiffs had suggested there be various safeguards, including mandatory psychiatric evaluations and other things. Those were in our submissions replying to Canada, which speculated regarding individuals whose capacity we couldn't be sure about.
We've been clear all this time that in respect of individuals, when a doctor isn't sure, of course there are other methods that can be used, including psychiatric evaluations and capacity assessments and all kinds of other things. We were not asserting in the air that we think all of those kinds of restrictions are necessary or desirable. They are tailored responses to individual issues. What this bill does is create a blanket exclusion because of some concerns we may have about some individual issues.
Thank you.
