Thank you, both, for your testimonies.
My first question is for Dr. Lyon.
You explained what happened to your father. I think it's important for us to understand what happened. You said that your family had difficulty getting a MAID clinician to consider the collateral information you tried to share about your father's mental illness.
Based on this direct experience, can you tell us what that revealed to you about how the current system handles mental health evidence, and why that should concern this committee as it examines whether to expand MAID to those suffering from mental illness as a sole underlying condition?
