Support Bill C-218
Help Stop MAiD for Mental Illness Only
A law allowing euthanasia (MAiD) Medical Assistance in Dying) for mental illness alone has already passed and will take effect in March 2027 unless a bill is passed to stop it.
MP Tamara Jansen introduced Bill C-218 in the House of Commons on June 20, 2025. This bill would remove the provisions that will allow MAiD for mental illness alone in 2027.
Bill C-218 would exclude a mental disorder from being considered a "grievous and irremediable medical condition" for the purposes of Medical Assistance in Dying. This would mean that no one would be eligible for MAID on the basis of mental illness alone.
Ask your Member of Parliament (MP) to support Bill C-218 to stop medical assistance in dying (MAiD) for mental illness alone.
