Ottawa introduces Bill C41 on advance MAID requests and safeguards

The federal government introduced Bill C41 on October 27 to propose advance medical assistance in dying requests for eligible adults facing an incurable illness expected to remove decision making capacity. The proposal would require safeguards and leave provinces and territories to decide whether to make advance requests available. It is not enacted law, and Ottawa also announced it would not proceed with the scheduled mental illness expansion.
