Ottawa to bar MAID for sole mental illness

Original: mental health

The federal government will exclude mental illness as the sole qualifying condition for medical assistance in dying, keeping Canada's existing law unchanged. The measure had already been delayed twice over concerns about health system readiness and safeguards. Advocates and critics remain divided: some see the exclusion as protecting vulnerable patients, others as denying access to those suffering severely.

Why now: The federal government's long-awaited decision on extending MAID to mental illness alone is newly announced, reigniting a polarized national debate.
