OTTAWA – Canadians whose sole condition is a mental disorder will not be eligible for a medically assisted death for another year under legislation introduced in the House of Commons Thursday.
Justice Minister David Lametti introduced a bill seeking to delay extending the eligibility until March 17, 2024.
The Liberal government agreed to expand eligibility in its 2021 update to assisted dying law after senators amended the bill. The senators argued that excluding people with mental illness would violate their rights.
March huh? in time for Josef Mengeles Birthday?
