Bill C-41, Medical Assistance in Dying Safeguards Act · Point of order · now at second reading in the House Where it stands
This was not a debate on the substance of Bill C-41, the Medical Assistance in Dying Safeguards Act, but a procedural exchange during Private Members’ Business. Conservative member Andrew Lawton rose on a point of order to ask that the vote on the bill be split under Standing Order 69.1, arguing that it combines two separate matters—excluding mental illness as a basis for medical assistance in dying, and permitting advance requests for the procedure—and that members should be able to vote on each separately. Liberal member Kevin Lamoureux asked that the government be given an opportunity to respond before the Speaker rules on the request.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
