Bill C-218, a private member’s bill to stop MAiD on the basis of mental illness, did not get enough support from MPs today to advance through the legislative process. Unfortunately, it was defeated 187 to 141 in a vote in the House of Commons this afternoon.

We will be preparing resources on advance requests for MAiD and on the new legislation when it is introduced. Please continue to pray!
