I'm not sure about that.

I would still stand by the role psychiatrists can play as part of MAID and assessment. The point of being an expert and providing an expert opinion to those who may be trained to be assessors and providers.... I believe that's what's stipulated as part of the Criminal Code, and I believe that would be a role that many psychiatrists could play. They are already trained to provide expert consultation and opinion.
