Abstract

The 2019 federal election just got more complicated, as the issue of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) has been thrust back into the news and onto the desks of government. In a landmark decision released on September 11, Quebec Superior Court Justice Christine Baudouin struck down part of the Criminal Code legislation regulating MAiD as contrary to sections 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . The decision also struck down part of the Quebec MAiD legislation .
