Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I have three questions—and they should be short—for Ms. Gwartz. I'm hoping you can help us learn more about a MAID assessment through these questions and how data is collected.

Let's say that as a MAID provider. If you're seeing a cancer patient and you're not certain at any point in your assessment, would you seek assistance from a colleague, or would you just come to conclusions on your own about what you should do?
