Thank you.
Some of the testimony we've heard is from people who are not on the front lines of seeing patients with severe mental illnesses, as you are. Some witnesses have approached their testimony more from the realm of legal theory, saying that we can't discriminate between physical illness and mental illness.
In its 2023 submission, CAMH said, “health care...for mental illness is not comparable to...care...for physical illnesses.” I don't take, from this, that the two are unequal on a moral level. Rather, in a practical sense, there are significant differences there.
In the 30 seconds I have left, could you please elaborate on that, in this context?
