Stéphane Lauzon Liberal
“I support this bill. It protects vulnerable people and lets them decide on medical assistance in dying while they are still able to, even if they later get dementia. It also helps families and doctors prepare to carry out that choice when the time comes.”
“Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. That is precisely what Bill C-41 aims to do: protect vulnerable individuals and uphold their right to make decisions while they are still capable of doing so, even if they may later be affected by Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. It also helps to raise awareness among family members and physicians. They must be prepared to make the decision when the time comes to provide MAID. That is precisely what Bill C-41 sets out today.”
