I thank the witnesses for sharing their expertise with us.

I have several questions. I do not normally ask "Yes" or "No" questions but I do have one for Dr. Twomey. Dr. Lyne said there are some exceptions to what Dr Twomey said, where palliative care, medicines and whatever is available simply do not work. Does Dr. Twomey accept this?
