This is similar to an amendment we turned down yesterday, and I think for the same reason. I will vote against it today because I think that medical practitioners, or nurse practitioners, who can identify a person as having a cognitive impairment such that this new provision would be activated, would also be competent to know whether they were capable of judging that impairment and whether or not to bring in a consult. I think it's well within the current framework to expect a nurse practitioner or a physician to bring in the necessary consultants anyway. I will vote against it.
