I thank the witness for his presentation. Most of the questions I intended to put have already been asked. On page 6 of his statement, Mr. Thompson mentioned that he would expect the number of requests for termination of pregnancies in cases of diagnosis of Down's syndrome to be high and that that would not be representative of the population.

What does he mean by that?
