Thank you very much.
I'm going to frame my question this way, Professor Downie. Considering the decisions of Carter, Truchon and E.F.—and you've laid it out as best as you can in the time limits—and given your academic and legal experience, including in the courtrooms where these cases were litigated, what are the consequences of a government decision to deny access to MAID to those for whom mental illness is the sole underlying cause? What are the consequences for the patients, for the practitioners who are trying to serve their patients, and for the governments that, according to the courts, are in breach of the Constitution, particularly section 15?
