Federal party statements on physician assisted dying - Dying With Dignity Canada
Read how the major federal parties say they plan to do to respond to the Supreme Court's decision on physician assisted dying.
Dying With Dignity Canada supporters across the country ask us every
passing day: What are the official positions of the major federal
parties on physician assisted dying?
So far, we’ve received responses from the Liberals and the NDP. We
have yet to hear from the Conservatives and the Green Party. (Though the
Greens, to their credit, have a policy on assisted dying posted to their website.) Of course, we’ll post the outstanding responses if and when they’re sent our way.
The statements, published in both official languages, are available for download below. We hope you find them helpful as you consider how to vote on October 19.

“For many of our supporters, particularly
those in urban and suburban ridings, this is an issue that could be the
deciding factor in how they cast their ballots this fall. We will be
mobilizing our supporter base in the coming weeks to ask political
candidates in their riding to take a pledge in support of the
implementation of the letter and spirit of the Carter case. We will be
publicizing the names of candidates who take the pledge and those who do
not. We request that you provide us with a written policy statement
outlining the your party’s on the implementation of physician assisted
dying with regards to the Carter case for the right to die with
dignity.”
The statements, published in both official languages, are available for download below. We hope you find them helpful as you consider how to vote on October 19.
