Dear Friends & Partners,

Bill C-230, MP Kelly Block's Protection of Freedom of Conscience Act will have 2nd reading vote tomorrow October 5th.

This is a good bill that will help strengthen physician conscience rights nationally.

The vote is expected to take place just after Question Period, around 3:15 pm ET.

The bill presents two Criminal Code amendments that would protect the conscience rights of physicians.

1 // It would become a criminal offence to intimidate any medical practitioner into engaging in Medical Aid in Dying (M.A.I.D.) against their will.

2 // It would become a criminal offence to fire or withhold hiring a medical practitioner based on their willingness to engage in M.A.I.D.

The bill can be read in its entirety here.

If the bill passes 2nd reading vote tomorrow, it will progress to committee. If it does not, it will die.

TAKE ACTION TODAY // CONTACT YOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

Please email or call your Member of Parliament and ask them to support C-230 tomorrow during the 2nd reading vote.
