Is Dr. Duffy comfortable saying that the transition from 18 years to the cohort of 25-year-olds is happening on the ground right now? I am asking in the context of a document we are looking at which is from 2022 to 2024.
That recommendation was meant to be a short-term one. In the context of a two-year window, to me, the short term is six to eight months. To some degree, the witnesses are at one remove from the decision-making process. Are they confident that is actually happening? Is it their perception that it is?
