Potential showdown with Fraser Health looms for Delta Hospice Society https://t.co/gwqeZZtOoP

[CTV News Vancouver @CTVVancouver]

The Delta Hospice Society board said it deeply regrets “being compelled” to take the action due to Fraser Health cancelling its contract over its refusal to comply with a provincial policy requiring hospices to provide assisted death. https://t.co/wDtOA77tmH

I have received an update from Health Minister Adrian Dix regarding the upcoming transition at the Irene Thomas Hospice. Fraser Health representatives and staff at the Ministry of Health will oversee the transition beginning on February 25th. Read more: https://t.co/OJupS8bVoz

Terrible news. How can the new board of #DeltaHospice reconcile forced transfers with good end of life care?

[Rod Wilson ( He/ Him) @rod_alive]

@Taleeb @DavidLametti As a #MAID provider for 3 years I have never met a person requesting #MAiD who was uncertain of what they wanted #choice The biggest uncertainty & fear was of losing capacity or dying in agony #10days can do that

[Taleeb Noormohamed 🇨🇦 @Taleeb]

It's inhumane to make terminally ill patients wait an extra 10 days to access #MAID. Minister @DavidLametti is right to change the legislation. Politicians opposing this change must put the needs of suffering #Canadians ahead of their own personal views & biases.

Navigating a request for medical assistance in dying can be complicated. Learn more about the support and resources available where you live.

Moving in the right direction. End the practice of forced transfers for #MAiD in 🇨🇦 Court of Appeal dismisses Hospice legal challenge @CAMAPCanada @DWDCanada https://t.co/vpJxC4Nbdi

"No one applies for MAID on a whim. It’s a last option that is only sought after long days and nights of agony...By the time you reach the point where you have submitted a written and witnessed application for MAID, you have already suffered long enough." https://t.co/hNJr3MFbd3

[Dying With Dignity Canada @DWDCanada]

[4/4] Expanding access to medical assistance in dying is not a solution or reaction to the lack of support for vulnerable populations in Canada.

[Dying With Dignity Canada @DWDCanada]

[3/4] “The patient’s ability to understand and to consent is ultimately the decisive factor, in addition to the other legal criteria.” - Superior Court Justice Christine Baudouin

[Dying With Dignity Canada @DWDCanada]

[2/4] Those who meet the law's criteria should be able to access a medically assisted death regardless of any groups they belong to.

[Dying With Dignity Canada @DWDCanada]

[1/4] End-of-life choice is personal and each case is unique. We cannot judge a person’s suffering and want to ensure that no provisions of the law exclude Canadians who should have equal access to the constitutional right to make choices as to how their life may end. #cdnpoli
