Abstract

The Halifax Group is composed of eight of the members of the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) expert panel working group charged with reviewing the state of knowledge on medical assistance in dying (MAiD) as it relates to cases where a mental disorder is the sole underlying medical condition (MD-SUMC). The CCA report was issued in December, 2018. In May 2019, Jocelyn Downie convened the Halifax Group to explore whether they could make any recommendations to governments in regard to MAiD for persons with MD-SUMC. This IRPP report is the result of the in-person meeting and subsequent deliberations regarding the federal and Quebec governments’ plans to make changes to their respective MAiD laws and potential reforms.
