Webinar: Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD): Understanding Bill C-7’s Changes to the Canadian MAiD Framework

Join Dr. Catharine Schiller for this CCCN webinar on 3rd November 2022 at 3pm (ET)/12pm (PT)

Abstract:
In February 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada decided the Carter v. Canada (Attorney General) case, which radically changed the end-of-life care landscape. The Canadian federal government responded to this decision by passing Bill C-14 and legalizing medical assistance in dying. Bill C-7, passed in 2021, made important changes to this original legislation. This presentation will describe the changes that resulted from Bill C-7 and will consider its implications for healthcare providers.
