Mr. Garrison, thank you for this question.
It is a complex task. It's not a small task, and I think it will have to take, to my mind, as long as it needs to take. The complexity and implications and the strong different opinions play into the timing, and I think the group has to be quite diverse. It has to include the professionals, the psychiatrists and other mental health professionals that... Such an amendment is actually affecting their practice and touching some of the core issues in their field, which is understanding the concept of suicide and what suicide is. What does it mean to have suicide when someone is asking to receive MAID? Are they asking for suicide or not?
It has to also include family members. It has to include people with lived experience themselves. It has to include the other professionals, whom we call allied health professionals, who may not be the most responsible initially, but who also are affected by this practice, and we may need other stakeholders.
Without reaching a consensus about the definition of irremediable criteria, it will be very hard to apply these criteria if we don't know how to define it.
