Just to also clarify: these decisions are not made by psychiatrists alone (although they do play a large role). Decisions are made by specialized tribunals (such as Ontario Review Board) which hold hearings prior to making any such decisions. The Crown, the affected person, and the forensic mental health facility treating the affected person are all parties with an opportunity to adduce evidence, make submissions, etc.
