✦ AI Summary
Bill C-62 delays the eligibility of individuals whose sole medical condition is a mental illness from receiving medical assistance in dying (MAID). This means that for now, people in this specific situation cannot access MAID. A joint parliamentary committee will undertake a comprehensive review of this issue, examining eligibility criteria and potentially recommending changes to the Criminal Code regarding MAID for those with mental illnesses.
