Thank you, Madam Co-Chair.
Dr. Andrew, I'd like to start with you. In your opening remarks, you were going over the advance directives of care that are currently allowed in our provincial medical system. Before patients go through a major surgery, for example, they could talk about a “do not resuscitate” order. There also could be different examples of withdrawal of care.
Could you tell us what some of the more common forms of withdrawal of care would be? Would it be if a machine was breathing for them? Perhaps you can just elaborate on that.
