I have a question for each of our witnesses as well.
Dr. Montes, your story demonstrates the incredible ability of children to overcome life suffering with support. And as we know from prior witnesses, psychosocial suffering is not irremediable in those struggling with mental illness issues or disability and often can be remediated with good care and support.
Can you speak about the impact that social injustices such as bullying and trauma may contribute to a desire to die? Do you have concerns that the root of a MAID request by youth might be overlooked by a MAID assessor, especially if they don't have expertise in these specialized fields? Would you comment on that, please?
