A spokesperson for Quebec Seniors Minister Sonia Bélanger says that despite multiple requests by Quebec to change the Criminal Code, the federal government refuses to do so
Quebec says that starting this fall it will authorize early requests for medical assistance in dying from certain patients before their condition renders them incapable of giving consent.
Quebec adopted a law in June 2023 permitting people with serious and incurable illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease, to ask for MAID while they have the capacity to provide consent, with the procedure being carried out after their condition has worsened.
