I have a couple of questions for Dr. Holohan, as the chief medical officer. This concerns patient safety, which is obviously his top concern. Would he agree that it is safer for people to access a medical procedure here, with the follow-up care and the support of their family and their friends available to them, than to travel to another jurisdiction to obtain that medical procedure?
