Canada’s federal government has assembled a parliamentary committee packed with euthanasia supporters to review whether the country’s controversial “assisted suicide” program should be expanded to people suffering solely from mental illness.
The move has alarmed critics who warn the Trudeau-era Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) regime is already spiraling out of control.
The Special Joint Parliamentary Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying is made up of 10 Members of Parliament and five senators.
It will examine whether Canada should move forward with plans to allow assisted suicide for people who have no physical illness at all, only mental health conditions.
The expansion is already scheduled to take effect in 2027 unless Parliament intervenes.
Pro-Life MPs Vow to Fight Expansion
Among the committee members is Conservative MP Andrew Lawton, who has been outspoken in opposing the expansion.
Lawton confirmed his appointment in a post on X.
“I’m honoured to be named to the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, which will review the incoming expansion of MAID to people with solely a mental illness and no physical ailments,” Lawton wrote.
“This expansion comes into force next year unless new legislation is passed.”
Lawton is joined by other Conservative lawmakers who oppose expanding euthanasia, including Conservative MP Tamara Jansen and Conservative MP Michael Cooper.
However, the committee also includes several lawmakers who have supported euthanasia expansion, including Sen. Kristopher David Wells, along with Liberal MPs Kristina Tesser Derksen and James Maloney.
Lawton Speaks Out After Surviving Suicide Attempt
Lawton has spoken publicly about nearly dying in a suicide attempt 15 years ago.
He recently launched an initiative aimed at helping people struggling with mental illness choose life and raising awareness about the dangers of expanding euthanasia access.
The current push to extend assisted suicide to those with mental illness stems from Bill C-7, legislation passed in 2021 that dramatically expanded Canada’s euthanasia laws.
Conservatives Introduce Bills to Stop Expansion
Conservative lawmakers have introduced legislation aimed at slowing or stopping the expansion.
Conservative MP Garnett Genuis introduced Bill C-260, titled “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying – protection against coercion).”
If passed, the bill would prohibit government officials or authority figures from suggesting euthanasia to someone who has not asked for it.
Another proposal, Bill C-218, introduced by Conservative MP Tamara Jansen, would prevent state-sponsored euthanasia from being extended to people suffering solely from mental illness.
The bill passed its first reading on June 20, 2025.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre praised Lawton for sharing his personal story and raising awareness about the issue.
Canada’s Euthanasia Program Keeps Expanding
Canada legalized assisted suicide in 2016 under the Liberal government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The program has been rapidly expanding since then.
Originally limited to patients who were terminally ill, MAiD eligibility was widened in 2021 through Bill C-7 to include people suffering from chronic conditions.
Since then, activists have pushed for additional expansions, including allowing euthanasia for people with mental illness and even minors.
MAiD advocates have also begun calling for newborn babies to be euthanized.
Currently, assisted suicide remains illegal for minors and for people suffering solely from mental illness.
However, the government has already scheduled the mental illness expansion to take effect in 2027.
The policy was originally set to begin earlier, but was delayed in February 2024 after significant backlash from medical professionals, mental health advocates, pro-life organizations, and several Canadian provinces.
The government agreed to push back the plan when doctors refused to start euthanizing mentally ill patients.
Same-Day Euthanasia Cases Raise Alarm
Meanwhile, critics say the existing program is already deeply troubling.
Recent reports show that thousands of Canadians have been euthanized shortly after receiving approval.
In Ontario alone, more than 200 people were euthanized within 24 hours of being approved in 2023, according to a 2024 provincial report cited by the Free Press.
Of the 219 deaths examined, roughly 30 percent occurred the same day approval was granted.
The report also highlighted disturbing cases that critics say raise serious questions about how the program is being administered.
Woman Euthanized After Attempting to Withdraw Request
One case involved an elderly woman identified as Mrs. B, who was in her 80s and had suffered complications after coronary bypass surgery.
Initially, she expressed interest in assisted suicide, as Slay News reported.
Later, however, the woman reportedly changed her mind.
According to the report, she told a MAiD practitioner she wanted to withdraw her request, citing religious and personal reasons and expressing a desire to continue hospice care.
Despite that decision, the process continued.
Physicians reportedly cited her husband’s “caregiver burnout” when evaluating the case.
A request for inpatient hospice care to support the family was denied.
A second practitioner determined the woman still qualified for MAiD despite her earlier withdrawal.
Although the practitioner declined to approve a same-day procedure due to concerns about a “drastic change in perspective” and possible coercion, the case moved forward.
A third evaluator later visited the woman at her home and approved the euthanasia procedure.
Hours later, Mrs. B was euthanized with a lethal injection, against her wishes.
