Abstract
Canada is in the midst of implementing new and rapidly evolving policies on medical assistance in dying (MAID). Following the landmark Canadian Supreme Court Carter v. Canada ruling in February 2015, the former prohibition against physician-assisted death was deemed to violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Court provided until 2016 for development of national legislation and policies that allowed for physician-assisted dying in cases of “grievous and irremediable” illness and “intolerable suffering”. This session will review shifting public, societal and medical concepts regarding assisted dying and the Canadian experience to date, including evolving local and national policies that have been developed to allow medical assistance in dying in certain circumstances. We will also review work of the Canadian psychiatric association task force on medical assistance in dying (presented by the Task Force Chair), with a focus on challenges and issues relevant to mental health and mental illness.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
