Journal Article
Assisted dying: Quebec allows advance directives, defying federal ban
2024
Overview
Quebec, Canada’s second most populous province, updated its law in June 2023 to permit such directives,1 and asked the federal government in Ottawa to amend federal law accordingly. Quebec’s justice minister Simon Jolin-Barrette told reporters at Quebec’s legislature (the National Assembly of Quebec) that he had instructed the director of criminal prosecutions that it would “not be in the public interest” to pursue medical staff implementing advance directives. When the federal government refused in February to amend the criminal law, a spokesperson for the federal justice ministry said that “individuals across the country must adhere to the same rules, regardless of location, leaving no room for evading consequences in different jurisdictions.
