The Liberals on Thursday introduced legislation that would delay the expansion of MAID to the mentally ill by one year.
The original version of MAID legislation passed in 2016 allowed only those with a reasonably foreseeable death to get assistance taking their own lives. A Quebec court ruled that restriction was unconstitutional, because many people live with painful medical conditions, but can’t say when they will die.
“Bills change over the course of that legislative process as they have to in order to take the various institutions in our government seriously,” he said. Cooper said when Senators first proposed expanding MAID to the mentally ill, the Liberals should have slowed down and not rushed the legislation through, but they did the opposite.Article content
“The issues that have been identified with expanding made in cases of mental illness are not going to go away. They are not going to change between March of 2023 and March of 2024.” Lametti said he is confident the bill could have gone ahead, but wanted to be prudent so the expansion is appropriately managed.
