OTTAWA—Under pressure to stop the expansion of medical assistance in dying for mental illness alone, the Carney government says it won’t make a decision before a parliamentary review is complete.
“I think it would be premature for us to declare a position on the next steps when the group that we’ve actively tasked to consider this issue in depth is doing their work, I’d like to give them space to complete the study, and then we’ll be in a position to consider all the perspectives as we finalize our position,” Justice Minister Sean Fraser said.
