I may not give Justice Rochon an opportunity to respond. I'm going to ask my second question because I'm running very short of time.
I was a lawyer for some time before I did this, and I used to hire medical experts to give opinions. In my experience, the divergence of opinion is much bigger when it comes to the psychiatric realm than it is with other illnesses, which is why I am concerned about removing the mental health exclusion.
One of the other points you make in your submission is this piece with respect to experts, saying that it's not necessary. I understand the context if you're living in a remote community and whatnot. I grew up in Thunder Bay. I can appreciate that. My concern is this. Given the expressions of concerns on the mental illness side, are you suggesting that a general practitioner, for example, could give an opinion on mental illness in a MAID situation? Courts don't allow doctors to give opinions outside their area of expertise. I would think the threshold in this situation would be equally as high, if not higher.
