The Conservative Party urged the Liberal government to amend a bill on medically assisted dying to ensure safeguard measures were in place and give more attention to palliative care.
During the Dec. 2 debate in the House of Commons, Opposition leader Erin O’Toole exchanged arguments with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the provisions to government Bill C-7, an Act to amend the Criminal Code with respect to the medical assistance in dying (MAID). The debate on the bill continues as the court-imposed deadline of Dec. 18 approaches.
