For the sake of our new witness, Dr. Donna Stewart, before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. This is a reminder that all comments should be addressed through the joint chairs. When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. This goes for all of us. Interpretation in this video conference will work as it does in an in-person committee meeting. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. When you are not speaking, please keep your microphone on mute.
With that, I'd like to welcome our witness for panel two, who is also here to discuss MAID when a mental disorder is the sole underlying medical condition.
As an individual, we have Dr. Donna Stewart, professor, University of Toronto, senior scientist, Toronto General Hospital Research Institute, Centre for Mental Health.
We will first hear from our witness, Dr. Stewart, for five minutes.
Dr. Stewart, go ahead.
