Alberta launches review and public consultation about expansion of MAID program that promotes euthanasia

11/26/2024 / By Laura Harris

The Conservative provincial government of Alberta is set to review the legislation and policies around Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program as the federal government plans to broaden its scope.

In a recent press release, the United Conservative Party (UCP) under Premier Danielle Smith announced that it will conduct a comprehensive review of legislation and policies surrounding MAID, including a public consultation period open until Dec. 20. The initiative seeks to ensure Alberta has robust safeguards and consistent oversight to prevent coercion, particularly for individuals with disabilities or mental health challenges.

The Alberta government also invited residents to participate in an online survey, alongside consultations with medical associations, advocacy groups, religious organizations, regulatory bodies and academics.

“We recognize that medical assistance in dying is a very complex and often personal issue and is an important, sensitive and emotional matter for patients and their families,” said Alberta Minister of Justice and Attorney General Mickey Amery. Additionally, Amery stated that the goal of the is to ensure “necessary supports to protect the most vulnerable.”

Furthermore, the Alberta government said the consultation will help shape its policies and potentially lead to legislative changes concerning MAID in the province.

Canada has been proposing disturbing expansions of the MAID program for several years

In 2016, Canada legalized assisted death under the MAID program. Since then, the federal government has never stopped proposing MAID expansion.

In 2022, the Liberal government proposed extending eligibility to individuals with mental illness as their sole underlying condition. Fortunately, this expansion, originally scheduled for March 2023, faced significant pushback from provinces, pro-life groups and medical organizations, leading to a delay until 2027.

This has given pro-life organizations more time to fight for human lives.

In 2023, Conservative MP Ed Fast submitted Bill C-314, titled “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying).” During the second reading of Bill C-314 on May 17, 2023, in the Canadian House of Commons, Fast argued that the intentions to expand MAID, particularly for those with mental health problems, would encompass “more and more defenseless Canadians, most particularly those living with disabilities.”

“What is equally disturbing is that the Liberal government has also signaled its intention to extend the so-called ‘treatment option’ to minor children. That would arguably make Canada the most expansive, most liberal assisted suicide jurisdiction in the world,” said Fast.

Aside from expanding MAID to mentally ill people, Dr. Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians (QCP) recommended euthanizing infants up to one year old with “severe deformities and very serious syndromes” before the House of Commons’ Special Joint Committee on MAID that same year.

Roy based his recommendation on the Groningen Protocol, a framework from the Netherlands that permits euthanasia for infants enduring unbearable suffering due to incurable illnesses or severe disabilities. Under this protocol, the process requires a confirmed diagnosis by at least one other physician and the informed consent of both parents.
