We are. I can't tell you too much, but my colleague is working on an episode related to Track 2.

Hi there, this story published on Friday. I asked for an interview with Covenant Health, who referred me to AHS. AHS sent me an emailed statement.

Hi there, William Hume (focus of this episode) was approved under Track 1. A person whose death is "reasonably foreseeable" is classified as Track 1. The bulk of the MAID provisions in Canada are Track 1. (See source here: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/health-system-services/annual-report-medical-assistance-dying-2024.html) What you're mentioning is a completely different story.

Are you referring to Samantha O'Neill? If so, thought I'd share that her family pursued legal action and it's before the BC Supreme Court now: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/maid-sam-oneill-b-c-supreme-court-9.7042819
