Since the passing of federal legislation in June of 2016 following the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision to authorize physicians to end the lives of consenting patients under certain strict conditions; legalizing medical assistance in dying (MAiD) has had a profound impact on seniors care and the continuing care sector. Since legalization, governments and stakeholders across Canada have been working together to support the integration and implementation of MAiD within the Canadian health care system. Many provinces and territories including BC, for example, have put in place coordination systems or interprofessional care teams to help individuals seeking information on and assessments for MAiD. Some Canadian jurisdictions have also made legislative and system-level policy changes to further integrate MAiD as a part of the range of end-of-life care services.

Despite these policies, however, almost on a daily basis we see news articles across Canada discussing the issue and challenges of MAiD with some advocating that there should be stricter limits and others arguing that it needs to be expanded and more readily available including within faith-based institutions.

To discuss some of these issues further, including challenges that have occurred since MAiD was legalized as well as concerns that have been raised such as that the current federal legislation is too vague, restrictive or broad in scope, please join us at the last Care to Chat of the 2018/19 season.
