MAID and mental disorders: The road ahead. Report of the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying

This report reflects the narrow scope of the committee’s mandate; it is not a full review of MAID in Canada. The committee, which based its report and recommendations solely on witness testimony, heard conflicting views about Canada’s readiness for MAID MD-SUMC. While some witnesses said Canada is clearly ready, others stated that preparations are still in progress, or that the state of the country’s readiness for 17 March 2024 is difficult to ascertain. Still others felt that readiness for MAID MD-SUMC will never be attained.
