Bill S-248

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 08, 2023
An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)
  • Bill S-248 is a proposed amendment to Canada's Criminal Code that would change the rules around medical assistance in dying for people who have a serious, incurable illness, disease, or disability. If the bill becomes law, individuals whose deaths are not expected in the near future would be able to arrange to receive medical assistance in dying on a specific day if they become unable to give final consent before then. Additionally, people with a serious condition could provide a written declaration waiving the requirement for final consent if they lose the capacity to give it and are experiencing agreed-upon symptoms. The bill adds safeguards to protect patients and ensure that any decision to request medical assistance in dying is their own and made voluntarily.
