No one should feel pushed toward Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
Saskatchewan can act. Help protect patients and healthcare providers.
Most Canadians think Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)
is only for end-of-life situations. It isn’t.
In 2027, people whose only underlying condition is mental illness may be eligible for MAiD.
As MAiD expands, safeguards matter even more.
MAiD is legal across Canada. Federal law sets eligibility.
But Saskatchewan still decides how healthcare is delivered within the province.
We are asking the Government of Saskatchewan to put two clear safeguards into law.
Saskatchewan can act now.
Two safeguards.
One simple principle: no one should be pressured.
-
People should receive care, support and information about available alternatives without being introduced to MAiD unless they ask about it.
-
Doctors and other healthcare professionals should be able to follow their clinical judgment and conscience without fear of professional or employment consequences.
