Ahead of their annual march for life against abortion and euthanasia, the Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) called on MPs to vote for a bill to stop the expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) to include those suffering from mental illness.

“The next euthanasia time bomb is set to explode on March 17, 2027, when eligibility will automatically expand to mentally ill patients,” CLC Director of Political Operations Jack Fonseca said, referring to the planned expansion of MAID.
