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.

A bill to expand access to medical assistance in dying (MAiD) comes to a Senate vote no later than Feb 17. That leaves a bare working week for the House to consider what may be a number of Senate-approved amendments before a court-imposed deadline for final passage on Feb 26.
Bill C-7 is the Trudeau government’s response to the 2019 Quebec Superior Court Truchon ruling named for Jean Truchon, one of its two disabled, but not dying, plaintiffs which struck down the current euthanasia law’s “natural death is reasonably foreseeable” criterion as too narrow. It asserted the right to MAiD for any Canadian suffering what he or she considers irremediable mental or physical suffering. The government did not appeal the judgment, an indication of its willingness in fact eagerness to meet and, as evidenced in Bill C-7, go beyond Truchon’s request.
