Mr. Chair, I agree with Mr. MacGregor, Mr. Bittle, and Ms. Khalid. Mr. MacGregor, in particular, mentioned the wording. While I totally think it's good that Mr. Falk brought this amendment forward so we could think about it and discuss it, I think there are some problems with the wording, specifically with the word “required” in regard to the medical treatment. How do we know what “required” means, and could there be a debate around whether it actually is required, on what standard? I think it would be best to leave it to the profession. We didn't hear anything from the CMA regarding problems with this clause.
I think we'd be better not to wade into these waters and go without any expert testimony on this issue.
