(TORONTO)— Canada's new assisted suicide law will only apply to Canadians and permanent residents, meaning Americans won't be able to travel to Canada to die.

A senior government official told The Associated Press visitors will be excluded under the new law to be announced Thursday, precluding the prospect of suicide tourism. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details ahead of the announcement.
