It worries me that there can be, as Deputy Troy mentioned, such a remarkable contrast in the analysis being given. I noted Professor Downie’s reassurance that there had not been sanctions and breaches, but to then hear that there were breaches in Quebec makes me realise that you cannot read one paper without reading the other in order to get the full picture. That is a challenge to us all.

I take from Dr. Trouton saying that she was not alone in finding this work professionally satisfying that she has been carrying out with MAID. Am I correct in that?
