Yes. I actually sat on our provincial committee to tackle this question with our government, our centre of excellence for mental health and addictions and a local network as well—a committee of our major hospitals—to tackle this very question. I co-chaired that local committee. In fact, we advocated for consideration when there was a high likelihood, or a push, to consider MAID for mental illness implementation a couple of years ago. We were worried. We really wanted safeguards in place, and resourcing, because of the concerns I'm expressing today. There was not a willingness to put resources forward.
In fact, one of our other concerns is that this pathway, if it were to come to fruition, would be a way for people to bypass the long wait-lists for mental health treatment to get assessment. They would actually get assessment faster, in some cases, than those waiting years for mental health assessment and treatment. We really need to think about the pressures in our health care system. How are we prioritizing something like this versus providing and rolling out treatments that are effective for treatment-resistant depression, for example, which really links to irremediability? These are the kinds of ethical but financial considerations we have to make in the system.
