I have no concerns regarding the process. For five or six years, our society has participated in consultations, in one-day, two-day or week-long meetings. Things were published in the press. This issue was discussed in great detail. I think we have to start somewhere. The consensus we have in Canada is the best that we can possibly have. In fact, we will never have unanimous consent on this issue. So, let us begin the process, let's move on. We begin with what we have and we can build on it afterwards. Therefore, researchers and ethicists will come with other aspects and we will be able to make changes over the years, but we must first launch the process.
