As the law stands, if the one condition is a mental disorder, they wouldn't qualify at all. I'm saying that, as the law stands now, it's not a barrier as opposed to giving them access to the process.
Let me go back. You referred to some examples of Supreme Court of Canada cases where the Supreme Court dealt with discrimination in situations dealing with schools or receiving benefits. That's markedly different from terminating one's life, I would say, so I'm not sure that those cases are.... It's not apples and apples, if I can put it that way.
We get into this situation where, as you said, “irremediable” is a legal term, not a medical term. What we're talking about is whether a mental disorder is permanent and cannot be cured, which would allow a person to qualify for MAID. That's the heart of what we're talking about.
In order to do that, you need to have certain protections built into the system, so you need to be confident that doctors assessing somebody with a mental disorder are as capable of making that assessment as doctors who are dealing with somebody who has cancer, to use the example I referred to earlier.
Are you confident, based on your experience through the panel process and whatnot, that there are safeguards in place enough that it will work with people with solely mental disorders?
