Thank you, Madam Joint Chair.
Dr. Maher, you stated in the case of mental illness it's impossible to determine irremediability. What can you add to the definition of “irremediable medical condition” in the Criminal Code? That includes serious and incurable illnesses in which the patient is in an irreversible state of decline.
Would you say, in light of that statutory requirement, that this could not be satisfied in any case involving mental illness from the standpoint of a MAID assessor?
