On what Dr. O'Shea said there about it initially being conservative, we have heard so much in this committee about the slippery slope and people's concerns that we might start at a point but things might move. If we were to be conservative initially and legislated for this with a review in two years, how would Dr. O'Shea respond to members of the public who feel that all we are doing is setting ourselves up for a slippery slope?
