A new joint committee in Canada is set to review expanding medical assistance in dying to people with mental illnesses. The panel, co-chaired by Liberal MP Marcus Powlowski and Conservative Senator Yonah Martin, aims to make a decision before a temporary federal ban ends in 2027. The committee includes members with personal experiences with mental health, and public opinion is divided on the issue. Meanwhile, some provinces plan to block the procedure for those with only mental illness, with disability rights leaders urging the committee to consider the risks for vulnerable groups.
