Today in the legislature, I introduced Bill 18:  The Safeguards for Last Resort Termination of Life Act.   This legislation is about strengthening safeguards and ensuring vulnerable Albertans are protected when they need care most. It is crucial that MAiD remains a last resort, not a first response.   We need a system that prioritizes dignity, support, and real options. Bill 18 is about making sure Albertans have real options and are met with compassion and protection, not steered toward a choice that should only ever be made in the most exceptional circumstances.   Hope should be easier to access than death.

It is very important for families who have experienced MAID chosen by a family member to speak out. It is important to demystify the option of MAID as we must fight to preserve that right for those who wish to choose it. Thank you.
