i strongly agree with this mp's comments and unequivocally condemn the government's decision to ignore the court's ruling, which clearly indicated that mentally ill canadians have a constitutional right under s. 7 of the canadian constitution to seek life-ending medical care.

medically assisted suicide should be available as a right to all canadians, regardless of mental health status. the process should even include a psychological exam to indicate that the individual seeking suicide is mentally sound to make a decision about ending their life.

the right to suicide is a personal, individual choice and not something the state has any place interfering in. the courts are correct. this government is once again wrong and once again on the wrong side of history. this is the wrong legal, cultural and moral decision to make for canadians and the courts will overturn it shortly. 

i would call on doctors in canada to emulate morgantaler and continue to provide access to suicide, in defiance of the government's extra-legal and unconstitutional decision to try to stop it.
