Just to respond to the suggestion about two doctors. This amendment does not preclude that happening. What we are saying is that we will not be deciding but for the Legislature to decide who will make the recommendation and how it will work in practice. We are indicating and making recommendations. It is guidance. That is why it is left without being too specific because we do not know what the impact of that could be in terms of legislating. It would be easier to leave this out.
