Sean Fraser: “Very real concerns about people who live in communities with inadequate access to mental-health services”

When I hear that there is a lack of consensus in the medical community about the irremediable nature of certain mental illnesses, that gives me real cause for concern

The government will move forward with the committee’s recommendation to exclude people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness from receiving MAID indefinitely

These are not easy decisions but we believe they will be the correct ones

This second issue is extremely important to communities of people who've been diagnosed with very, very serious illnesses [that] may cause them to lose capacity subsequently.
