Bishops call on Canadians to contact MPs now

Canada’s bishops are calling on Catholics to contact their Members of Parliament before March 2027, when the country’s assisted suicide program is set to expand yet again, to cover mental illness as a sole qualifying condition.

The program, “Medical Aid in Dying” (MAiD), has drawn criticism from human rights advocates across the world. Since its legalization 10 years ago, over 60,000 Canadians have died by MAiD — including more than 5% of all Canadian deaths in 2024 alone.
