I thank the witnesses for their presentation. To return to the issue of hearing loss among young people, especially young people with disabilities, is Chime satisfied there are enough checks in that area? Sometimes when a physical or intellectual disability is identified, the fact there may be other disabilities, such as relating to hearing, can very easily be ignored. Is Chime satisfied there is sufficient monitoring in that area or could more be done on it?
