Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the doctors, our experts, for being here this evening.
My question is on defining “incurability” in mental illness. Dr. Maher, you went deeply into that. I would like to have Dr. Lyon's expertise on this, if we have time.
There remains significant disagreement as to whether and how a mental disorder can be considered incurable. That's a very important question.
Maybe I'll elaborate on that. Does the current clinical or legal definition provide sufficient clarity to ensure consistent assessments, or does it risk subjective interpretations that could lead to uneven or unsafe application?
I put that question forward because, Dr. Maher, you made some serious claims with respect to suicide and mental illness—whether they are to be allowed or not allowed. I come from an industry where integrity is never negotiable. I've said that a million times. We don't have any doctors who were reported, or what have you. Maybe I could have your opinion on that, or your judgment on that, more importantly.
