It's not true at all. We have a lot of people in the community who deal with treatment-resistant depression or treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and the Health Canada standard does not require treatment. It says that you have to have some treatment, but it doesn't require treatment. This is really a major issue, and there's lots of evidence from other countries as well that there will be more requests and completions, because our laws don't prevent people from accessing MAID without going through a number of different treatments.
