Starting in March 2021, Canada became one of only a handful of countries to legalize assisted suicide even in instances where a patient does not have a terminal illness. Ever since, a Canadian can be approved for MAID simply for having a "grievous and irremediable medical condition." Do you agree with the current laws that assisted suicide is legal even in instances where a patient does not have a terminal illness?

If a Canadian's only affliction was "poverty," 27 per cent said they would be fine with legalizing that person's access to MAID. Another 28 per cent pegged "homelessness" as an appropriate bar to qualify for MAID. Do you think people should be able to qualify for MAID just based on being homeless or in poverty?

MAID for the mentally ill was supposed to become legal in March but that date was ultimately pushed forward into 2024 in order to "prepare for the safe and consistent judgment and provision of MAID in all cases." Do you agree that people should qualify for MAID based on mental illness?
