Was the question of the benefits of the proposed Bill not considered at all? We talked about balance earlier. That question should have been asked for balance. Results may come back indicating that there are no benefits and psychiatrists do not see any, but the fact is these questions were not asked. For a layman like me who read that survey this morning, I was very disappointed to see that it seemed to be skewed in a certain way to elicit answers in a certain way. Dr. Martin stated what it was based on, but was any sort of consideration given to see whether there are any benefits to the changes outlined in the general scheme?
