The Liberal government is expected to introduce a law today to delay the extension of eligibility for medically assisted dying to people whose sole condition is a mental disorder.
Justice Minister David Lametti has said the delay is needed after the federal government heard concerns that Canada's health-care system might not be prepared for the expansion.
But the bill included a two-year clock to delay the extension, which is set to expire in March unless Parliament passes a new law.
