What we'd be talking about here, obviously, is that if something has been deleted, there would have to have been some communication about that happening. My understanding of the process, for example, for either a service agent or a case manager to remove something from a client's file is that there has to be a request. There has to be an email sent requesting it, and there would be confirmation that would come back. If that request has been made, there would be some kind of backup documentation, whether it be an email or otherwise, that the request was made. It would indicate that the information had been deleted.
That would then indicate that there may be more that we aren't aware of that has occurred here. I hope there will be nothing that will come from either of these two things. If there is, it would indicate to this committee that there's a bigger scope to this than we believe.
It's quite important to have that information. It's not to get the clients' or the veterans' personal information or to even see the contents of their files. It's to simply know whether requests have been made to delete from a file something about medical assistance in dying.
