ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The federal government says it's not going to go ahead with an expansion of medical assistance in dying for people whose only medical condition is a mental illness. Advocates say people with mental illness are being discriminated against, and opponents say there are too many unresolved questions about whether a mental illness is treatable. The Globe and Mail's Stephanie Levitz explains the political context, the timing of the announcements, and how the Opposition is responding.
