Some say the bill is a 'huge step forward.'

OTTAWA — The Liberal government has introduced legislation aimed at making it easier for intolerably ill Canadians to get medical help to end their lives.

For those deemed to be near death, the government is proposing to drop the requirement that a person must wait 10 days after being approved for an assisted death before receiving the procedure. It would also reduce the number of witnesses required to one from two. The bill amends a four-year-old law that was introduced by the Trudeau government following a landmark 2015 Supreme Court ruling that struck down the prohibition on medically assisted death.

Feds set to introduce bill amending assisted dying lawFederal Justice Minister David Lametti is expected to introduce amendments to the federal medically-assisted dying law in the House of Commons Monday afternoon, broadening some eligibility restrictions. Apart from killing us off before we need palliative care and overwhelming our country with dangerous welfare cases, what else are they pishing through with the smoke show going on right now. Any chance the Trudeau cabinet will be the test group? If it was not for determined individuals the majority of the cowardly politicians would still vote against medical assisted dying. 85% of the voters agree with medical assisted dying for certain conditions.

Don't fix our health care system, just start culling the sick people. Gotta admire the love and compassion.
