I thank the two witnesses for being with us today. As a committee we have a difficult task in making recommendations on a very complex and important issue in a very tight timeframe. I really appreciate the witnesses coming here to share their international expertise. Understanding that international landscape and learning from the legal parameters and frameworks that exist in other countries are crucially important to us. I thank the witnesses for sharing so much of their time, experience and expertise with us.

Is it correct that Dignitas is a not-for-profit organisation? Yes. That is super.

I will follow up on something I know Deputy Kenny asked questions about. Does Mr. Luley have statistics on the percentage of the 200 to 250 people who avail of Dignitas's services every year who are terminally ill?
