Mr. Speaker, the Medical Profession Act is the relevant legislation. It calls for members of the medical profession who are in good standing to participate in a review of the practice of their peers where the issues which arise concern the quality of medical practice. The members of the board of inquiry are members of the medical profession who are in good standing. Being the subject of civil litigation, which may or may not lead to a conclusion of liability, certainly does not impair a practitioner's standing in the profession. Mr. Speaker, if the Member wants me to table a relevant document it would be the Medical Profession Act. There is no bar to anyone sitting on the board of inquiry by way of being the subject of litigation. Thank you.
