We all acknowledge that the vast majority of practitioners go about their business in an honourable, ethical way but our responsibility as legislators is to ensure there are measures in place to protect people in the minority of cases where that does not happen. I am sure Dr. Martin will understand that. I thank him for sharing his personal experience with us because it certainly helps to inform us as to where his positioning comes from. Does he believe the current legislation is sufficient and provides enough safeguards? If not, what needs to change?
