Petition to the House of Commons
- Medical assistance in dying will expand to Canadians with mental illness on March 17, 2024, unless Parliament intervenes;
- Parliament considers it a priority to ensure that supports are in place for the mental health of everyone in Canada;
- Vulnerable Canadians must be given suicide prevention instead of suicide assistance;
- Medical assistance in dying risks normalizing suicide as a solution for those suffering from mental illness; and
- Canada should focus on increasing mental health supports and improving access to these supports instead of offering medical assistance in dying for those with mental illness.
