Adults who want to use a mental illness as the sole basis for an assisted death will likely have to wait at least another three years, the Liberal government said Thursday.
Health Minister Mark Holland introduced legislation that, if passed, would postpone the government’s plan to expand the medical assistance in dying program until March 2027.
It would be the second such delay for the expansion, after Liberals added a year to the timeline just before the change was supposed to take effect last March.
