I am going to ask a number of questions because my time is disappearing. Perhaps the witnesses can come back in when I have asked them. There does not seem to be any evidence from Dignitas that numbers have been increasing in the way seen under the Dutch model, which seems to indicate that it is the change in the law and the widening of permissibility that is at issue there. I do not get any sense that the work Dignitas does has been exploding exponentially over the past 20 years.
