CANADA'S MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN DYING REGULATIONS FALL SHORT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, September 4th, 2018
Toronto, ON - The Canadian Association for Community Living (CACL) and the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD) strongly call on the federal government to strengthen the monitoring system for medical assistance in dying (MAiD). As they stand, the just-published MAiD regulations to come into effect November 1, won’t safeguard people who could be vulnerable under the system. They don’t meet the objectives of the MAiD legislation for robust protections. More work needs to be done.
