I thank Ms O'Shea for that. I would like to come back and focus on two particular aspects of her statement. The Act does not sufficiently address the balance between the right to conscientiously object, which is on the doctor's side, and the right to receive healthcare, which is on the woman's side. Ms O'Shea might develop that, and I will finish my last question, which really goes back to my first question about employers. What are the requisite inquiries which are required in the recruitment process to identify candidates who would be willing to perform abortion services?
