OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) — Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party praised one of his newest pro-life MPs, Andrew Lawton, for telling his story about almost dying by suicide, and for raising awareness of a bill that seeks to stop euthanasia from being expanded to those with mental illness.

“I want to thank Andrew for bravely coming forward to tell his story to try and help others suffering with their mental health,” wrote Poilievre on X last week.

Poilievre then thanked another one of his MPs, Tamara Jansen, for “leading the effort with Bill C-218 to protect these people and get them proper health care and treatment, not assisted suicide.”

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Conservative MP Lawton, who almost died in a suicide attempt 15 years ago, recently launched an initiative to help those struggling with mental illness choose life and to help stop a plan by the Canadian government to expand euthanasia to those with mental illness.
