Yes. I think Dr. van Veen spoke to this. It would suggest a small number.
We always talk about MAID in the context of case-by-case assessments. Clinicians have to practise within their scope and expertise. Individuals in this situation have to consult with psychiatrists or psychologists, those who work in the mental health space. They can't provide MAID without that expertise. A full assessment requires that all those eligibility criteria and safeguards are reviewed.
There's also the risk of professional and criminal liability, which is certainly significant. I think this encourages clinicians to do the right work. Canadians are confident in the health care system. They're confident in their clinicians. I know we often speak as if they're running amok, but I think the system is a good system. We have clinicians who are qualified to do the work and have stated so.
