They are not experts, and that's what we've been hearing. We have several physicians and nurse practitioners who are open to being involved in the process of MAID assessments for eligibility, but we hear them very loudly that they need more guidance. They have no consensus standards to determine, if they see a patient in their office, whether this person has an irremediable illness or not. That's work that we've been involved in. We've been working on this within the CAMH environment internally. It's taking a long time to determine what type of assessment there needs to be, what types of questions there need to be, what types of information we need to collect and then, based on that information, how to determine that individual X has an illness that is irremediable versus remediable. Those decisions need to follow some standards based on consensus. The answer is that they clearly say that they are not ready.
