Back to EpisodesAlberta Bans Advance MAID Requests, Contrasting Federal Trends
Description
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announces the province wont pursue advance requests for medical assistance in dying (MAID), aligning with a new bill that restricts MAID to adults with terminal illnesses. Meanwhile, Quebec allows advance requests, with over 2,100 approved but only a few leading to actual procedures. Smith opposes expanding MAID for mental health issues, while federal consultations show majority support for advance requests. Albertas stance contrasts with potential federal changes, creating a reverse of Quebecs current setup.
