Physician-Assisted Dying committee  David Baker can possibly speak to that. I think Colombia's supreme court has just recently indicated.... They used to have physician-assisted dying without a prior review process. But David Baker, who's speaking later on, can speak to that issue. In terms of a vulnerability asse

Physician-Assisted Dying committee  If I can, Mr. Chair, I'd like to answer that question. The reason there would be is so the instance of suicidal ideation doesn't come out of the disability.
