A sixth veteran has alleged that she was offered unprompted medical assistance in dying, or MAiD, by a federal department responsible for providing medical care and rehabilitation to those who have served in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).
Christine Gauthier, a retired CAF corporal and a former team-Canada Paralympian at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, told the House of Commons Veterans Affairs committee yesterday that she previously received a letter from Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) offering her MAiD.
