Alberta and Quebec are going in very different directions on MAID

OTTAWA — Alberta announced last week that it will be following Quebec’s lead in asserting provincial control over medical assistance in dying (MAID), but it will be taking a much different direction.

Quebec has taken steps to expand access to MAID, including via so-called “advance requests” allowing some residents to get pre-approval for assisted dying, but Alberta has signalled that restrictions are coming.
