Thank you.
Professor Mishara, in your previous testimony to this committee in 2022, you stated that, “In the Netherlands only 5% of requests for MAID for a mental disorder are granted” and “Even in medical cases of terminal illness, 40% of requests are refused because the doctor believes there [are ways to treat] suffering, and hardly any of those who are refused repeat their request after trying the treatments.”
Do you know whether these statistics are still the case in the Netherlands—I think you went into that a little bit—and if so, wouldn't that demonstrate that the Netherlands actually has a robust safeguard system for MAID MI-SUMC that Canada can learn from?
