Medical Assistance in Dying committee  Psychologists are not currently covered under a health insurance plan. In fact, I think it's important to note that in this discussion, when we're talking about MAID where mental disorder is the soul underlying medical condition, we're really asking to examine mental illness in the same way we look at physical illness.

Medical Assistance in Dying committee  Thank you, Madam Chair and members of the special committee, for your invitation to the Canadian Psychological Association to appear before you this evening. My name is Dr. Eleanor Gittens, and I am the sitting president of the CPA. I'm a professor and program coordinator in the addictions treatment and prevention program at Georgian College.
