A paraplegic former member of the Canadian military shocked MPs by testifying that the Department of Veterans Affairs offered her, in writing, the opportunity for a medically assisted death.
Gauthier did not say when the assisted death offer was made, whether it came from a case manager or a veterans services agent, or when she wrote to the prime minister.
During his testimony last week, MacAulay walked the committee through four cases he said the department was certain of and that had been uncovered as part of a file review launched last summer. Another veteran who testified Thursday, retired corporal Bruce Moncur, said that at a meeting two weeks ago, a deputy minister at the department tried to assure an advisory committee that includes veterans that what they were facing was an isolated incident.
"I just want to extend my deepest apologies," she told Gauthier. "I just, I am in shock. And I thank you for bringing this reality [to the committee]."
