Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition. Petitioners note that the government's planned expansion of MAID in cases of mental illness where that is the sole underlying condition would put vulnerable Canadians at risk because it is impossible to determine irremediability, as well as to distinguish between suicidality and a rational request for MAID.
Accordingly, petitioners call on the House to stand with vulnerable persons and permanently scrap the reckless expansion of MAID to those with mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition.
