I think there is a role for psychiatry, particularly where mental illness is one of the issues. Some people have called for psychiatrists to be involved with every decision. I think that's really neither practical nor necessary. General practitioners, family doctors, are the ones who usually determine whether someone is competent or not, but there may be a role specifically for psychiatry to play where there is an issue of mental illness.
I'm hoping that my colleagues at the Canadian Psychiatric Association are going to address that. I spoke with the Canadian Psychiatric Association at their annual meeting this year, and I think they are attuned to the issues and hopefully will come up with some policy directive on that.
