I certainly am not. I am responding to the amendment. The issue arose on Second Stage and Committee Stage. Senator Crown's concerns in particular deserve a response. He is right in saying we must have evidence-based medicine. We do not have the requirement of evidence-based medicine here. Even though we are being told, on the one hand, it is not medical, the Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Holohan, came in here and told us that all of this was being pursued through a medical model, yet Senator Bacik persists in telling us that, of course, it is not a treatment. The amount of playing with words and doublespeak that is going on defies credibility.
