Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for being here, Dr. Gupta.
I read your report with interest a number of times, and I would like to share my chief concern.
I thought your mandate would include the broadening or banning of MAID in cases where a mental disorder is the only medical problem involved. Why was that not part of your mandate? I understand that you worked from the assumption that this broadening was necessary, and that you sought to determine how to proceed.
If you could answer briefly, please, because I have several more questions for you. Why was that not part of your mandate? Were you surprised by that?
