N2 - In the not-too-distant past, medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was illegal in Canada. Assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia (which together make up MAiD) were prohibited by the Criminal Code . Many attempts were made to change the law (see Downie 2016 ). The most famous of these was the case of Sue Rodriguez, who took a Charter challenge of the prohibition to the Supreme Court of Canada (only to lose by the slimmest of 5:4 margins). A number of bills were also introduced in the Federal Parliament. All were doomed to failure. But then . . . change came.
