The Canadian government has created a committee filled with euthanasia advocates to determine whether or not Canada should expand assisted suicide to those with mental illness, but a few Members of Parliament on the committee promise to advocate for life.
The Special Joint Parliamentary Committee is made up of 10 MPs and five senators who will look at Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program to determine whether it should be expanded yet again.
One of the committee members is pro-life Conservative MP Andrew Lawton, who announced on X that “I’m honoured to be named to the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, which will review the incoming expansion of MAID to people with solely a mental illness and no physical ailments.”
“This expansion comes into force next year unless new legislation is passed.”
