Show Notes
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends Bill 18, tightening medical assistance in dying rules, limiting eligibility to those with a natural death expected within a year. She argues against federal expansions, citing a doubling of cases and the original intent for conditions with foreseeable death. Smith faces criticism from a caller, Pam, who advocates for advance requests in cases like Alzheimers. The province plans strict sanctions for doctors who violate rules, and is prepared to defend the bill in court or use the notwithstanding clause.
