A special joint committee of MPs and senators has tabled its report to Parliament, recommending a delay in expanding the health-care system to offer medical assistance in dying (MAiD) for persons with mental disorders as their sole underlying medical condition. On Thursday, federal Health Minister Mark Holland introduced legislation to postpone this expansion of MAiD until March 2027.
