It does. I guess the answer is that there is no clarity around who would assess maturity. Mr. Castillo Goncalves mentioned a number of other jurisdictions. Is it the standard in other jurisdictions where this practice is working for there to be an appeals process by that child? Is it possible for the child to appeal an assessment of maturity?
