Opponents of assisted suicide have something to cheer about this holiday season as proposals to expand the procedure have suffered setbacks.

Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) legislation, Bill C-7, temporarily excludes eligibility until March 17, 2023, for those whose only medical condition is a mental illness. But as of Dec. 15, this moratorium on their eligibility has been extended for an indefinite time.
