The chair of a federal expert panel is questioning what the government is hoping to accomplish by delaying the expansion of MAID law.
Corner Kicks with Derek Van Diest
A series of court challenges and a parliamentary review resulted in new legislation in 2021, which recognizes a Quebec Superior Court ruling that said limiting MAID eligibility to those whose death was reasonably foreseeable was unconstitutional.Article contentThe 2021 update included a sunset clause to allow the government two years to conduct an independent study before expanding of the program to include people whose sole underlying condition is a mental disorder.
It’s not clear how long the delay will be, but Lametti said the government is not backing away from the plan to expand the program. “They bear some responsibility to say what it will take in order for people with mental disorders to be allowed to exercise their Charter rights,” she said. “But they don’t want to say it, because that’s already been litigated, and the governments have already accepted that.”
