Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay today responded to several new allegations of veterans being offered unsolicited medical assistance in dying, or MAiD, by at least one of his department’s caseworkers.
MacAulay told MPs on the House of Commons Veterans Affairs Committee that his department is aware of only four cases in which veterans have been offered unsolicited MAiD by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) employees, whereas the committee said it is aware of at least eight such instances.
