| Message | We have a concern in regards to article 1, we understand the reasons behind the unwillingness to detain those with a mental illness, however, what would then happen in cases where a person with a severe mental health issue may become a danger to themselves or others? What would be put in place as an alternative? W. Bowman. Leader of The Humanist Party. |
