Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre held a news conference on Monday regarding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada.
Last month, a parliamentary committee recommended in a report tabled in the House of Commons that Canada’s assisted dying laws should be expanded to include minors.
After hearing from nearly 150 witnesses and reviewing more than 350 briefs on Canada’s medically assisted dying (MAiD) program, the special joint committee of MPs and senators concluded that minors deemed to have the appropriate decision-making capacity should be eligible for assisted death.
Interim chair of the Canadian Human Rights Commission Charlotte-Anne Malischewski expressed concerns come as MAID is poised to become available to those whose sole underlying condition is mental illness, a change that was to take effect this month but has been delayed until March 2024 due to concerns the health-care system might not be prepared for an expanded regime.
