Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for their presentations.

I'm going to start with you, Dr. Nicolini.

I arrived a moment or two after you started your presentation. I heard something you said and want to clarify it as a starting point.

You said, later on, that you cannot predict prognosis in a mental health context. Did I also hear you say that assessments would be based on the personal opinions and intuitions of the physicians making the assessment?
