Bill C-7 is a matter of equal access to medical assistance in dying

Bill C-7 is a matter of equal access to medical assistance in dying By Puneet Luthra. Published on Mar 17, 2021 3:50pm Canadians continue to support, not only access to MAiD, but also its expansion to give more people control over end-of-life issues and decisions. For 40 years, Dying With Dignity Canada (DWDC) has been committed to advancing end-of-life rights and helping Canadians avoid unwanted suffering. We represent the 87 per cent of Canadians who support the 2015 Supreme Court decision in Carter v. Canada that struck down the prohibition on physician-assisted dying. DWDC has been an active participant in the discussions about Bill C-7 since it was introduced in February 2020.

iPolitics By Janet E Silver. Published on Feb 1, 2021 11:13am Parliament Hill pictured on Jan. 15 (Jolson Lim/iPolitics) As the number of COVID-related deaths continue to rise in Canada, the toll on mental health across the country has experts in the field actively pushing the government to boost funding for mental health. The Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association is working with Benjamin Howe of Impact Public Affairs to advocate for additional mental health services funding. The Walt Disney Company has hired Justin Burrows of Geopolitics Group to discuss the government’s bid to overhaul Canada’s broadcasting laws (Bill C-10) as well as its proposal to implement a Digital Charter (Bill C-11).

Senators wrestle with scope, constitutionality of assisted dying bill

Canadian senators have started debate on proposed legislation to give some people whose death is not “reasonably foreseeable” access to medical assistance in dying (MAID). The highly controversial Bill C-7, sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Chantal Petitclerc of the Independent Senators Group, would expand the number of people who can access MAID an amendment opposed by many Conservative MPs in the House of Commons last week. The bill attempts to bring the federal law into compliance with a September 2019 Quebec Superior Court ruling by Justice Christine Baudouin, who found it unconstitutional to only allow MAID for people near death, as prescribed in the current law, Bill C-14.
