Medical Assistance in Dying Safeguards Act Second reading of Bill C-41. The bill would indefinitely exclude medical assistance in dying where mental illness is the sole underlying condition, while allowing advance requests for people with serious, incurable illnesses who may lose capacity. It proposes safeguards, including independent medical assessments and the ability to revoke consent. Members debate patient autonomy and protection, constitutional questions, and how federal rules should align with Quebec’s system and provincial health-care responsibilities. 17700 words, 2 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.

Question Period

The Conservatives blame Liberal spending and taxes for rising inflation, grocery bills, and mortgage costs, calling for deficit restraint and diesel tax relief. They question the use of pension assets in debt calculations, criticize EU trade delays and tariffs, and raise concerns about ethics-screen secrecy, Indigenous commitments, and costly projects such as Alto.
The Liberals defend Canada's fiscal strength and investments in growth, trade diversification and major projects, while highlighting cost-of-living supports, school meals and housing construction. They promote deeper EU trade ties, Parks Canada modernization, safeguards for medical assistance in dying, a stronger national security plan and First Nations partnership.
The Bloc denounces planned Parks Canada job cuts, warning they threaten regional employment, tourism, and conservation, and calls for the decision to be reversed. It also opposes powering AI data centres with gas, arguing the fossil-fuel strategy undermines climate goals and warrants a moratorium.
The NDP accuse Liberals of fast-tracking Indigenous rights violations while delaying Indian Act sex-discrimination reform.
The Greens warn that Parks Canada job cuts threaten the government’s duty to protect parks for future generations.
