Conservative MP Andrew Lawton has launched the “I Got Better” campaign to challenge Canada’s planned expansion of its euthanasia regime to include those suffering solely from mental illness, drawing on his own experiences with depression for the campaign.

“This is an issue that’s very near and dear to my heart,” Lawton said in an interview with The Epoch Times. “Because I know that I got better and I went through that path to recovery, and I want to make sure others do too.”
