The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition is having a rally and press conference on Parliament Hill on February 27. The rally is to stop the implementation of euthanasia (MAiD) for mental illness in Canada. The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition is thankful that the federal government is delaying the implementation of euthanasia for mental illness but will continue to demand that the government change direction and completely stop the implementation of euthanasia for mental illness.
Last year the federal government delayed the implementation of euthanasia for mental illness until March 17, 2024. Federal Bill C-62 seeks to amend the Criminal Code to provide that persons are not eligible, until March 17, 2027, to receive medical assistance in dying “if their sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness” continues its legislative journey.
