Right now the legislation simply provides that two physicians, any two physicians out of the some 80,000 who are certified to practise in Canada, could determine whether or not someone meets the criteria. It wouldn't even have to be two physicians. It may be two nurse practitioners. Do you as a psychiatrist think that when we're dealing with something that may be a determinant of whether someone has the capacity to consent, a nurse practitioner or any physician in Canada could undertake that type of analysis?
