After several extended deadlines, Canada has a new medical assistance in dying (MAID) law that will broaden who will be able to make end-of-life decisions. That said, some of the most controversial aspects still need to be hammered out and several people are unhappy and critical of the new law. Jacques Gallant has been covering MAID for The Star and joins to explain what's new in the law, what still remains up in the air and what comes next. Guest: Jacques Gallant, Star Reporter who covers legal affairs and federal politics
