I have another question for you, Doctor Le Sage.

Yesterday, I watched the Quebec election debate. All the candidates talked about a particular topic, which is the lack of resources for mental health.

Is there a risk that current resources, which are perhaps already insufficient, would be used to assess requests for MAID, which would aggravate the problem? Is the system able to handle the additional load of requests for MAID in cases of mental disorders?
