Sorry to interrupt, Dr. Sareen, but I know that not everyone in Quebec or the other provinces has equal access to the same care. However, I think that someone with an enduring and incurable mental illness has the right to choose what's right for them. We've got two types of patients, and we're discriminating against one of them. That's how I see it.
I agree that there isn't a consensus and that this may not be the right time to expand MAID eligibility to people with a mental illness, but we need to get ready. People with an enduring and incurable mental illness are going to ask for MAID, and we need to be able to alleviate their suffering.
Dr. Gandham, what are you doing to advance your thinking on the issue and move towards clinical readiness, since this decision is probably coming at some point? What are you doing to get ready for the clinical decision to provide this care to people with an enduring and incurable mental illness?
