Thank you.
Dr. Maher, thank you. We don't want to rob people of hope. We all need hope.
My question for you and Dr. Lyon, if you'd like to bring in his expertise, if we have the time, is this: Given the inherent uncertainty in these assessments, would you agree with an additional national safeguard, such as a mandatory specialized second opinion, to ensure consistency and to protect vulnerable individuals?
Data oversight and public confidence are so important, and public trust in this regime depends on transparency, consistency and the ability to monitor outcomes in real time. The current data collection, from what I gather and what I've heard this evening, is not sufficient to capture the complexity of these cases, including the unsuccessful requests, the reasons for refusal and indicators of vulnerability, such as a lack of access to care or social supports.
What's your experience with that and your judgment of that?
