Canadians supportive of assisted dying law but wary of mental health expansion: poll
Other scenarios where MAiD might be sought received dwindling support, from 40 per cent saying overwhelming serious health problems was a proper reason to 22 per cent saying the same about severe depression.
Controversy has erupted over Canada’s MAiD legislation after Global News first reported last summer a Veterans Affairs Canada employee raised assisted death with a veteran as a possible solution to a post-traumatic brain injury. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has repeatedly pointed to that case, and concerns raised by the CEO of the Mississauga Food Bank saying people had come to her facility asking about assisted dying, as proof that MAiD is becoming too accessible to people in crisis.Health Canada data shows assisted deaths in Canada have grown since the law was introduced in 2016, hitting a high of just over 10,000 approved deaths in 2021.
Although one-quarter of those surveyed said the growth in medically-assisted deaths is a bad thing for the country, 43 per cent said it was a positive development that people can have a say over their own end-of-life decisions.
