Quebec Health Minister Danielle McCann responds during question period at the legislature in Quebec City on Oct. 2, 2019.
Health Minister Danielle McCann made the announcement in Montreal at the opening of a one-day forum on changes to the province’s medical aid in dying law. The consultation must continue in order to ensure Quebecers feel confident and comfortable with the choices that will be made, McCann said.She said she’s been preoccupied by concerns that have been raised since she announced last Tuesday that, as part of changes to the province’s legislation to abide by a Quebec Superior Court ruling, the procedure would be made available to people suffering from severe mental illnesses that can’t be treated.
