Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank all of the witnesses, particularly given the time.
We've heard from a great number of witnesses with a diversity of opinions, and your voice is very much appreciated.
Dr. van Veen, I want to start with you.
Sir, you started by saying at some point that “autonomy is...fundamental”. I agree with that. You then went on to say that “mercy” is necessary. I think I got that right: Mercy is paramount.
