A recent survey found most Canadians don’t support forcing religiously affiliated health-care facilities to provide medical assistance in dying (MAID).
Conducted by Angus Reid in partnership with Cardus, the poll found that three in five Canadians (58 percent) said patients wanting MAID should be transferred from religious facilities rather than forcing them to perform the service. Twenty-four percent said the facility should be forced to provide MAID.
