• determining the eligibility of the person requesting MAiD based on the eligibility criteria in the Criminal Code
• providing MAiD by prescribing, administering or providing the medication to a person, at their request, that causes their death
• providing medication to a person, at their request, so that they may self-administer it and cause their death
• aiding another physician or NP in the provision of MAiD
