Consultation on Suicide: This is our opportunity to influence a decision that will impact everyone in Canada. Please take part in the federal government’s assisted suicide consultation process.

The panel will propose legislative options on “doctor-assisted dying” this fall, leaving only a few months before Parliament must draft a new law to replace the one struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada.
