Quebec says it will ignore Canada's Criminal Code & legalize euthanasia
Posted: January 18, 2013
On January 15th, Quebec's Social Services Minister, Véronique Hivon, announced that the separatist government would move ahead with legalizing euthanasia, which it euphemistically calls "medical aid in dying". The announcement came after a committee appointed by the province, consisting of members with pro-euthanasia views, reported back to the government with a 400-page report. It recommended the government could try to circumvent the Criminal Code's laws against this form of homicide, by simply repackaging the act of a doctor killing his patient as "medical treatment".
CLC's Quebec branch responds
On the day of the announcement, Georges Buscemi, president of Quebec Life Coalition in Montreal was interviewed by the CBC. He told a reporter that if legalized in Quebec, it would lead down a slippery slope where eventually, Canadian doctors would end up terminating patients without request or consent, now a rampant problem in The Netherlands and Belgium. He predicted the lethal practice would also expand to killing people who suffer with depression or psychological pain - even though they are not terminally ill -which has also evolved in the other jurisdictions where legalization occurred.
Our Quebec office has gone on to participate in other newspaper, TV and radio interviews in opposition to the government's plans. Watch his interview on Sun News below. Then please Like and Share the link so many other Canadians can learn the truth.
Federal govt told to cut-off transfer payments to Quebec if necessary
Campaign Life Coalition is calling upon the federal Justice Minister and Attorney General of Canada, the Hon. Rob Nicholson to use whatever legal or punitive measures are necessary to prevent the Quebec separatists from violating the Criminal Code of Canada by legalizing euthanasia.
One example of a potential punitive measure offered by CLC involved provincial transfer payments.
“The Quebec government is heavily dependent on federal transfer payments,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of CLC. “The federal government should promise to withhold payments to the province unless they abandon their illegal ambitions.”
“The PQ government does not appear to respect human life or the law. Legalizing euthanasia would transform the doctor into a killer. How long would it take before medical ethics tilt to a point where efforts to save the lives of suffering people give way to their expedient elimination?” said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition in a press release issued January 18. “Prime Minister Harper and Justice Minister Nicholson cannot let the Quebec politicians get away with murder.”
Campaign Life Coalition is asking supporters to contact Justice Minister Rob Nicholson to request immediate federal action:
