Ottawa Tables MAID Bill: Advance Requests, No Mental-Illness-Only Access
Justice Minister Sean Fraser tabled Bill C-41 on Oct. 27. It would let people make advance requests for medically assisted death, but only in provinces that set up their own legislated rules, and it permanently excludes MAID based solely on mental illness. It still has to pass Parliament.
