Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the two witnesses for joining us today.
Discussion has focused on the importance of having an independent review and an independent validation, if I may put it that way. Instead of repeating everything that has already been said on the issue today, I would like to continue to talk about it, but in the context of health professionals.
When the minister came before us, he said that one of the major differences between the current situation and what the bill proposes has to do with the role health professionals could play.
As far as I understand, health professionals could come to a conclusion on an inmate's problematic situation, and that conclusion would not be independently reviewed. So there would be no mechanism in place to protect the inmate. For example, an inmate could need more oversight and may need to be removed from the structured intervention unit, but if health professionals' decision went against that, the inmate would, in a way, be a victim of the lack of independent review.
