I thank the witnesses for their presentations. One of them said that the law has no values, that it is a scaffolding. Given what the masters of the hospitals said yesterday, is it right that we would repeal the 1861 law? Could we have a specific response that advises legislators that if we are going to put legislation in place, what should we put in that legislation to curb any floodgates? For me and the constituents contacting me, that is the main worry, that it will open the floodgates. Rather than rubbishing the idea and saying we should not do this, can we have some advice on what we should do?
