Thanks, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.
Dr. Gubitz, we've been told that the justification for the exclusion is that mental disorders and physical disorders are different. The way they are different is that mental disorders do not have a predictable course, but physical disorders do. Can you give some examples of neurological conditions that do not have a predictable course?
Second, when you have to determine if a person's neurological condition is a grievous and irremediable medical condition, and the prognosis is not certain, how do you come to a determination on whether the person's condition fulfills this criteria?
