Before Jan. 27: Send Your Thoughts on M.A.I.D.
Canadians have two weeks to provide consultation on how far to extend access to MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying). Online consultations, which began January 13, 2020, take on potentially contentious questions such as whether to change the standard 10 day “reflection period” patients are supposed to wait, whether to make psychiatric evaluations mandatory for all patients and whether the doctor or nurse practitioner should be obligated to consult the patient’s family or loved ones. This consultation closes on Monday, January 27, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. |
